As far as I am concerned, the current status is: We agreed that this thing
_can_ live in contrib/, and that the `scalar` command itself should not be
integrated deeply into Git because the end game is for `git clone` (and
maybe `git maintenance`) to learn Scalar's tricks.
A concern was raised that `make -C contrib/scalar` does not rebuild
`libgit.a` whenever any of `libgit.a`'s source files were modified. In
light of the previous paragraph, I believe that my time would be better
spent on designing a new `git clone` option, though, than to spend time on
a build process that will be soon obsolete (except if I allow myself to be
distracted by things like teaching `make -C contrib/scalar` to know about
`libgit.a`'s prerequisites). In other words, it is a technical debt I
firmly believe is worth accruing.
Other than that, I heard no objections, therefore I believe that this is
ready for `next`, to be cooked in the v2.34 cycle.
Ciao,
Dscho
