Well, I've seen that *a lot* of lib code (15 functions, see below) is in 
the builtins.

Cleaning that up seems to be good to have a real separation between
libgit and builtins, but I guess such a change would not find its way
into 1.6.0, would it?

PS: I've spontaneously decided to make a list:

defined-in	func-name	 - used in builtin-\1.c

builtin-add.c:
	add_files_to_cache()	 - add, checkout, commit
	interactive_add()	 - add, commit

builtin-archive.c:
	parse_pathspec_arg()	 - archive, uploard-archive

builtin-init-db.c:
	init_db()		 - init-db, clone

builtin-ls-files.c:
	overlay_tree_on_cache()	 - ls-files, commit
	report_path_error()	 - ls-files, checkout, commit

builtin-mailsplit.c:
	read_line_with_nul()	 - mailsplit, mailinfo

builtin-merge-recursive.c:
	write_tree_from_memory() - merge-recursive, checkout

builtin-prune-packed.c:
	prune_packed_objects()	 - prune-packed, prune

builtin-shortlog.c:
	shortlog_add_commit()	 - shortlog, log
	shortlog_init()		 - shortlog, log
	shortlog_output()	 - shortlog, log
	shortlog_init()		 - shortlog, log

builtin-stripspace.c:
	stripspace()		 - stripspace, commit, tag

And launch_editor() that is handled by the patch in this thread.

Then there are functions that are non-static, but not declined in
any .h file. A patch that makes them static follows in a separate mail.
