Wow, that was quick! Thanks. I haven't built my own git yet, so testing this may take some time...

Generally, I can sympathise with those who think this feature should not be in the core git. That would correspond to the cvs2cl tool, it is an external tool that uses cvs internally. However, having it be included in core would be simpler for me. I don't care strongly which approach is chosen (external tool vs included in core), but I can't switch to git for my projects until this is resolved.
