AFAIK, as of git 1.6 all the 'git-*' binaries will be hidden away from $PATH, 'git help' or
'man git' already show only the 'porcelain' commands or at least clearly separates the
'plumbing'.

I've recently started using git-svn for interacting with an open source project whose upstream
is in subversion, and while the learning curve is pretty steep, once you get the hang of it
it's pretty powerful. You know, like the emperor in star wars, with lightning coming out of
your fingertips.

Cool. Wasn't aware that 1.6 was going to hide the plumbing. I've actually been using git-svn
for Speex for a while now. Eventually though, I'd like to get rid of svn completely so I don't
lose the commit info when I do a dcommit.
