1. It is always available whenever git is available, so I don't need to
   search/install additional packages just to hack some scripts. If you
   have to support multiple distros/OS'es, it starts getting a PITA to
   find out what/how to install those additional packages.

2. Since it is used by the core developers, I assumed that it would be
   more robust than some third-party wrappers.

3. Since it is bundled with git, I'd not expect any version mismatches.
   With a third-party wrapper, version mismatches are much more likely.

Which one would you suggest?
