I have to say that it fills me with sorrow, seeing that the direction these patches take is the _opposite_ of libifying Git. So far I was only disappointed that nobody pushed this goal, but now I am concerned that anybody thinking about it is actively discouraged.

Just think about Git Cheetah: if it were ever to benefit from an official libgit, then the function you remove would be _ideal_. By removing that function, you make it even less attractive to try to use Git as a proper library.

Ciao, Dscho
