Hi David.  One minor but important correction ...

Actually, it is C and POSIX shell -- not merely bash.  Indeed, the shell
code in Git is expected to work with the Solaris Korn shell, the BSD
/bin/sh, the dash shell (which is now the default /bin/sh on Debian and
Ubuntu), etc.

(Oh, and on the python vs. C vs. shell diatribe I'm mostly neutral,
mostly because I'm no Git developer, and I have no "cents to throw").
