Obviously it's Junio's call, but can I suggest that getting it in the git tree (presumably under contrib/) should not be dependent on fixing whatever "things" you are worrying about? Waiting until it's perfect before submitting it. As Voltaire said (I think), "better is the enemy of good".

Speaking from my own personal viewpoint, while I'm not a huge contributor to git, I do fix the odd buglet here and there - and here's the rub - I only do it to those files that are in the git tree.

While git-split is being maintained separately, I would argue that there are less eyes on it. Get it in, regardless of state, at the very least it will mean that git-split's development will be tracked as publicly as git.
