The same goes for the following programs:

    git-diff-helper
    git-diff-stages
    git-export
    git-rev-tree

Among them, I could be talked into keeping git-export on the condition that we will add a counterpart git-import that can read git-export output and recreate an identical repository [*1*]; without something like that, I doubt its usefulness, especially since "git-whatchanged" is far more useful for everyday use.

[Footnote]

*1* which I think actually is impossible without fixing git-export first so that it exports the initial commit. I may be mistaken.
