What I'm (foggily) envisioning here is to rewrite parts of StGIT (as
little as possible) as a C library (libstgit.so?), and call the
library both from the Python code, and from a "plumbing" C program
(stgit-helper?). We should not try to make the library API stable,
just like the current git library.
There are two kinds of things we'd want to have in the library: (1)
things that are too slow to do in Python, and (2) things that need to
be available from stgit-helper in order to avoid Python's startup
cost, such as top/applied/unapplied for the bash completion and bash
prompt.
