And work on building in git-add--interactive.perl has already begun, so that is not a strong argument. As for git-svn and git-cvs* I agree, they will probably remain perl scripts. But I think that they are not that important, since they are not strictly _core_ parts of Git, being importers/exporters that not everybody needs. Ciao, Dscho
