I'd be interested to co-mentor a sh->C conversion.

I think the git-rebase*.sh is a good start.

$ wc -l git-rebase*.sh
  101 git-rebase--am.sh
 1296 git-rebase--interactive.sh
  167 git-rebase--merge.sh
  636 git-rebase.sh
 2200 total

So start with rebase--am and rebase--merge to have the same amount
of lines as git-pull.sh. I did not look at the code, just judging by
the lines of
code.

git-rebase.sh with 636 lines of code is quite a lot I would think.

Then there is also git-bisect.sh with nearly 700 lines, which is also not
as easy.

Thanks,
Stefan
