Perhaps a universal --plumbing flag would be handy? It'd be nice to be able to pass any command --plumbing and it'll either behave in a stable, predictable, plumbing-like way, or die with an error message stating that it isn't a plumbing command. Right now, it's sort of hard to figure out what is plumbing and what is porcelain. Some commands are clear, but other commands labelled as plumbing in git(1) are deprecated in favor of commands labelled as porcelain.
