It should be stressed that git-core plumbing written in C is not
just for git Porcelain-ish, and it will continue to be shared
service.  We would add core support for what Porcelains need and
we would try hard to keep them generic enough so that other
Porcelains can use them.  Keeping the core and Porcelain-ish in
the same project has made it easier to keep them in sync and to
find and add missing features that would benefit Porcelains (not
limited to git Porcelain-ish).  But that should not be mistaken
as plumbing somehow belongs more to git Porcelain-ish than to
Cogito or others.

I also think you should take credit for some core improvements
you did yourself (e.g "ls-files -t" format was originally added
for the sole purpose of helping Cogito, but now others use it,
too).
