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.
