[sync] New 'Git Commit Model' implementation

New less memory consuming implementation of 'Git Commit Model'. It uses
cache providers added earlier for retrieving data from repository
instead of calculating changes in every model object.

This is only beginning of rewriting 'Git Commit Model'. Next commits
will ensure that cache objects are created only once and completely
destroyed after synchronization.
