I don't think that C++ would get accepted because it would introduce
another dependency; if not runtime dependency (libstdc++), then build
requirement (C++ compiler).

And I think it doesn't bring much: git is not some GUI application
where OOP works best; it is 'close to the metal' (performance), where
I think C works best.
