I started to rewrite git-pull for similar reasons a couple of months ago, but I haven't had time to complete it. It looks like my version has less work remaining than yours, would you like me to share it?

or incompatible behavioral changes may be introduced which are not caught by the test suite. Ideally, I think the solution is to improve the test suite and make it as comprehensive as possible, but writing a comprehensive test suite may be too time consuming.

This is why I haven't had time to finish and submit my patch. While the c code is pretty much complete, I felt the test suite needed some extension before I could be confident the new code is correct.
