Some data point as I have a half-baked builtin/pull.c in my
(forgotten) private branch for 3 years. pull.c has 389 lines (with 24
shell lines left in "#if 0"). git-pull.sh has 340 lines. Let's add 100
C lines  to pull.c when it's complete, that's 50% more lines. But in
the git-pull case the student could get a good head start by reusing
my code, maybe.
