Yes, the plumbing is really lovely when it comes time to whipping together a quick tool for a special task; much nicer than writing a plugin.

For the benefit of newcomers, I just wish the plumbing was kept a little bit out of sight. You know, porcelain in /usr/bin and plumbing in /usr/libexec or other such place.

It's fine once you've learnt your workflows and know the 10 or 15 Git tools that you'll be using day-to-day; but for people who are just starting off this can be a little bit intimidating:

$ git-<tab> Display all 146 possibilities? (y or n)

Cheers, Wincent
