Let's agree to disagree then.  What I see in the root of the Git source 
tree is a huge clutter of source files, binary files, scripts, and 
subdirectories all mixed together.  If you know by hart where things are 
because you've been hacking on them for the last 5 years then of course 
you might not see the point.  But since I didn't work much on Git 
lately, things are not as obvious to me as they used to be.  Looking 
back at it now with some distance, this tree looks like a mess and it is 
really annoying to work with.

I wish... I wish.  But I have a plan which might involve taking some 
vacation from $day_job in the Caribbeans with $wife and no kids, where 
$wife is going to do scuba diving with her club mates while I'll be 
alone with a laptop and no net connection and therefore nothing else to 
do for a week.  I've been craving for such free time for quite a while 
now.
