A description in the headline of what the Git wrapper does, or a link to a blog entry or some other description of the wrapper would be helpful.

As it is, currently the website has no information other than the raw source-and a google search reveals no additional information.

Documentation so ... non-existent.
Didn't you see the 'doc' directory?
Which completely fails to answer the basics: What is fugitive, what problem does it solve, and what do I need in order to run it.

I'm getting the impression that it's a plug-in for the vim text editor, but considering that I had to dig to get that basic lead information, that's really bad.

The lack of an explicit point makes me wish I could downvote this.
Thanks for the link- will try it out!
If this were posted to Reddit, then a quick explanation of what git and vim are, and why a wrapper is so useful would make sense. But this is Hacker News for heaven's sake.
