Well, I would think you are working meaningfully on GfW. Putting that logic somewhere is what GfW person needed to do. Putting it in a layer (if there is no existing one, inventing a layer for it and properly rearranging the systme) is what a "libified Git" minded person may want to have, but that is far beyond the scope of working meaningfully on GfW. That is one of the things "libified Git" people would need to do. And if the "libified Git" folks do not do it themselves but ask for help from GfW folks for their area expertise, that is a perfectly acceptable way for "libified Git" to behave, too---after all making "Git as a whole" a better system is a team effort. Thanks.
