When they stabilize enough, convert them to builtins. Protohype is a nice word.

I've been hoping that we can make git-clone a thin wrapper around init/remote/fetch/checkout. For one thing, we would want to split the separate-remotes layout and bareness to create "mirror" (I called it "pure" previously, but this is really a mirror) layout for git-clone, among other things, and that kind of enhancements would need to be done inside git-remote. - 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
