Invoking the command line is reasonable depending on how much  
efficiency you need.   In most instances the time to call the command  
line function is going to be trivial.   That isn't always the case.    
The Github folks found that it was too slow.   So they ended up re- 
implementing git with Ruby.   My guess is that in your case it  
doesn't matter.   But I don't know enough about your project to say  
for sure.
