 I think you can put this way: do you want/whish to make
git more useful than it's today?

 If so, such a library is important because it will allow
users to write application that use git in a reasonable
way.

 It doesn't need to be the next five-zilion-function-library
that will provide the wonders of git in several different
ways.

 We could start by fixing the got-an-error-die behaivor and
define a _experimental_ API (just a few functions) just to get
data out of git.

 This would be enough to write the Perl binding I think?
