Correct. "ancillary" category ended up with full of Porcelain, it seems, but there still are plumbing commands there, and this is a prime example that should not be mixed up with Porcelain commands.

Among the remaining ones in the list, cherry and get-tar-commit-id are probably better classified as plumbing. I do not know why cherry is marked for completion; perhaps some crazy people use that on the command line?
