You call that "worse"? Pasky tried to convert all Perl scripts at once IIRC, and my numerous problems just _making_ the Git scripts led me to rewrite a few Perl scripts in C, so I could safely exclude the Perl scripts from my personal fork. I guess that it was this experience which prevented more of the old scripts from being converted. But your mention of git-add--interactive actually brings up my pet-peeve: this script is the only Perl script needed for common operations, i.e. the only reason msysGit has to ship bloated with Perl.
