So, two of the main goals of jsgit are to be lightweight and extremely portable (running on a variety of platforms and storage and network backends). The C libraries make a lot of assumptions about the platform they run on that make that extremely difficult. Also many of the C libraries that would be useful to me are GPL or LGPL licensed and I want to keep js-git more open using MIT.
The main technical problem with enscripten, even if the C libraries were exactly what I needed, is that it generates a lot of javacsript. I don't want 2mb of generated code. I want something hand-coded so that it can be a lot leaner. Remember this is just a library and not an entire application. It's just a part of someone else's project.
Also the emscripten toolchain is a pain to setup, especially on platforms like ChromeOS where I expect people to use js-git a lot. I would really like it if people could hack on js-git on the same platforms that use it. There is no emscripten (not one that runs at usable speeds at least) in browser-style environments.
