What does this have to do with "git", though? IOW, why does this have to be part of Git, so that those who would benefit from having a mechanism that makes it easy to run regular maintenance tasks but are not Git users (or those that want to do such maintenance tasks that are not necessarily tied to "git") must use "git" to do so? I'll find out later why it is so after reading thru 15 patches myself, so no need to give a quick answer to the above; it was just my knee-jerk reaction. Thanks.
