Not really.  It's an argument against cluttering up the existing core
with this stuff.

I personally have no need for such a thing, but in effect it is the git
commandline equivalent of MS-Office "Clippy", which provides a hands-on
tutorial in git while you are trying to use it (with the subtle yet
important difference that it only provides advice when called).

So if you'd keep it confined to a shell script externally from the core
commands, I could imagine a lot of new (or occasional) users of git being
rather happy with an "interactive manual/hands-on tutorial" like this.
