Sure, it is used widely enough. However, it flies in the face of so many GSoC efforts to introduce yet another one of those poorly portable Unix shell scripts, as central part of Git's code base. The script itself does look quite straight-forward to port to a builtin, so why not give it a try? If you are completely opposed to porting it to C, I will be completely opposed to moving it out of contrib/. If you need help with porting it, please come up with a task plan and I can jump in, to help (but please do collaborate with me on this one, don't leave all of the hard work to me). Ciao, Dscho
