Well, you also have to give people at least notice _when_ the target should be called. It can take long time until the victim notices that he has git-branch (from .sh) and git-branch(.exe). And that in two places: in the installation target directory and in the build directory (because in windows it is not fcking possible to remove "." from the beginning of PATH).
But in general, it should be fine to be called just once.
Don't think so. We still have candidates for conversion into C (git-checkout and git-commit being my favorites). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
