Depends if porting code from one procedural language to another is an "intellectual exercise" (it usually isn't). Compare with the x86 emulator written in JS that we saw a few months back.

That said, viewing a git repo in a web browser by querying the repo over HTTP directly is pretty damn cool.

It's an intellectual exercise if you want to learn how git works. One of the best ways to learn something is to attempt porting it.
