FWIW I think you have it backwards. It might look nicer in Perl, but we try very hard to consolidate the major pieces into C code. This is done for several reasons: - reducing dependencies (not everybody needs all git programs, so it even helps if one script is converted at a time), and - making the experience nicer on Windows (reducing the foot-print, since Perl is _not_ commonly installed, and drastically improving performance, since the number of processes is reduced). So no, I would not like these scripts being converted (back?) to scripts.
