Is anyone interested in implementing an official Git shell? Just a minimal shell that would essentially pass every command to git, to save the user from having to type "git" repeatedly. Example:

git> status git> commit -a git> push

Various third-party solutions to this problem exist, but it would be nice to have an official shell included with git so as to avoid having to install a third-party program on every machine where one uses git.

Obviously it would need to be named in such a way to avoid confusion with the existing git-shell command.
