Why would someone clone a repo if you can't push?

Cloning a repo, pulling changes and checking out revisions can already be useful for browsing a code base, doing code reviews, etc.

Pushing back changes is on my todo list but as it is a big block of work I'm probably going to release the first version with read-only git support.

Are there are already Android applications using JGit?

By the way, the features I would be most looking for in an Android text editor are:

* Loading and saving from SFTP/SSH (automatic sync on save) * Tabs or other convenient multiple views and file tree * Dropbox/Google Drive support (Saving to drive as gdoc) * Syntax highlighting including markdown formatting (maybe a preview mode for markdown with webview?)

Git could certainly be useful but it would depend on the implementation.
