For what it's worth, sloccount reports the following:

git: 52K C, 17K Perl, 10K sh, 6K Tcl, 300 Python

hg: 14K Python, 700 C

Speculating wildly, I'd be surprised if the C part of git couldn't be
reduced below 5K, at a cost of an 8K increase in Perl (or Python), and
not more than a doubling of runtime.  (This speculation is for
entertainment purposes only--I'm not suggesting a course of action.)
