You read my mind.  I just finished documenting some other
commands and was about to push things out.

Thanks.

Actually, I'm cherry-picking the easier ones in an effort to reduce my 
stress about my impending move to the LA area.

Hopefully you did git-diff-script, git-format-patch-script, and 
git-rev-parse which don't look easy to document.
