Interesting idea. It is Bash-only, though... (and it is not a secret that
I want to discourage using Unix shell scripts in Git's production code,
they are a decent way to prototype things, but they fall short of being
robust and portable in practice, and don't get me started on speed
issues).

So rather than spending time on making it easier to debug shell scripts, I
would love to see us going into the direction of a consistent C source
code. I still believe that we can get there, and that the benefits are
worth the (huge) effort.

Ciao,
Johannes
