Is it possible to embed git in the iPhone app? Only in a passive mode, i.e. to be able to read commit messages (with date and user) and diffs given some online git repository in order to present it in some readable table views?

I’m one of the co-authors of cocoagit, which is currently an unfinished implementation of the core git functionality in Objective-C. There has not been much activity in the last 6 months. Unfortunately, it is not far quite far enough along to do everything you need. We can read commits, and have preliminary support for cloning repos, but we can’t do diffs yet. Geoff and I would both like to have more time to work on it again, but in the meantime, we would gladly welcome any contributions.
Alternatively, I second the recommendations of previous posters to consider using github, or building your own web service to provide the necessary data.
