Yes. The more I think about it, the less I like the separate binary 
directory after all. The "git cmd" format is great for high-level 
commands, but we've always done "git-diff-tree" and "git-rev-list" etc 
without the "git cmd" indirection.

The downsides of a separate binary directory appear to be bigger than the 
upside..
