By the way, I'm not sure how the 'git' script is supposed to be used. I know that if there is a git-foo-script file in your path, you can run it as 'git foo'. But what about e.g. git-init-db? You can run that as 'git init-db' today. And 'git read-cache' should work too. And 'git ls-files', and 'git rev-parse', and 'git merge-one-file' and 'git sh-setup-script' in decreasing order of usefulness... But running 'git' without arguments only list the -script commands as available. --=20 David K=E5gedal
