To answer your question, the intent is to provide plugins git's
command line interface.
As has already explained by Junio amongst others, git already provides
support for such extensions via its idiom of treating any executable
of the form git-{command} found in the PATH.
The intention of my proposal is simply to formalise the plugin
architecture and provide a degree of plugin management.
Of course, others might think there is a need for ABI plugins, and
they are free to propose such extensions, but that is not my intent.
