This seems like an awesome tool. Sadly my comment has more to do with Go, as I'm new to the language and trying to learn.

When building a tool that uses git I'm wondering if it is better practice to use git2go (https://github.com/libgit2/git2go) or to do what this author did which is wrap the git command line tool: https://github.com/google/git-appraise/blob/master/repositor...

Nothing wrong with calling the git command directly since this isn't an app that needs to scale past 1 human user. It could be some busy work in the future to translate it all into git2go, I have a project like this. It's a personal tool I use to write my journal and it wraps git to manage the entry data by placing it in a git repository.
