One good place to start is to start reading at:
    git log -p --stat --full-diff --reverse 74703a1e4d.. -- 'builtin/*--helper.c'

And then search for git-.*\.sh in your pager. These are a bunch of commits where the bisect, rebase and submodule helpers have had their shellscript code incrementally replaced by C.
