When "make install" at the top-level of the tree starts installing "scalar", I'd prefer to see it outside contrib/. That is the only preference I can think of right now. Before that happens, if there is a way to install it, e.g. "cd contrib/scalar && make install", as long as it is clear that it is not yet official, I have no problems with. There is no hard rule that "git" has to be the only top-level command the end-user interacts with. We already ship "gitk" and "git-gui" with us, and adding "scalar" to the mix is OK. Some people may love it, and others may hate its design choices with passion, but that is the same for "gitk" and "git-gui" already.
