No, but one thing I failed to mention was that I am not a big fan of busybox. It is a cute hack to save "disk" space in an embedded environment, but I find the way many commands are bundled together a bit too hacky for my taste to use on my regular work box. I also suspect the change makes the maintenance of the result harder than having them separate.

You said with this change there is only one file to install, but you are not bundling the git-* scripts in the "single git", so that claim is not true either. If your patch handled the git-* script parts as well, then I would have admired that part of the change ;-).

Personally I find the mandatory documentation requirements this patch brings us is a good thing ;-).
