Which doesn't mention 'sed' for example. 


I have checked only commands in POSIX shell script; this list does not
include tests in t/ directory, which uses multitude of other tools.

Git has built-in grep since at least v1.4.0, but 'grep' is used in
generate-cmdlist.sh, git-commit.sh, git-instaweb.sh, git-quiltimport.sh and
git-tag.sh. 

'cut' is used only in git-instaweb.sh; other commands do without it.
'sort' is used in check-builtins.sh, generate-cmdlist.sh, git-ls-remote.sh,
git-tag.sh. Both tools are from coreutils package. And git uses other tools
from coreutils too: uniq, printf, tail,...

Git has built-in diff since at least v1.4.0, but diff is used in
git-merge-one-file.sh
