I am puzzled, as I somehow thought that "does the user conceive a subprocess as external and different-from-git entity, or is it merely an implementation detail? many use of subprocesses in our codebase, it is the latter." from Peff was a good argument against such isolation between spawning "git" and spawned subprocesses.
