What I'm (foggily) envisioning here is to rewrite parts of StGIT (as little as possible) as a C library (libstgit.so?), and call the library both from the Python code, and from a "plumbing" C program (stgit-helper?). We should not try to make the library API stable, just like the current git library.

There are two kinds of things we'd want to have in the library: (1) things that are too slow to do in Python, and (2) things that need to be available from stgit-helper in order to avoid Python's startup cost, such as top/applied/unapplied for the bash completion and bash prompt.
