IMHO, if we are talking about either java.io.Serializable or
java.io.Externalizable, there's no point in considering a non
Java peer.

If you want a non-Java format, we'd need to consider a much
more neutral encoding, like Google's protobuf, or *shudder*
XML/JSON, or cooking up our own format.

That wasn't this thread started with.  The original poster just
wanted an easy way to serialize some basic data types from JGit,
as part of some higher level stream being done in the container
application.  Since that higher level stream is a apparently a
Java object serialization stream, we just need to match that.
