Do you expect such a clean separation? That a given command is either
plumbing or porcelain but never both? If not, then a command might
want to emit different output depending upon context. Perhaps an
environment variable, along the lines of how one sets locale on Unix,
could indicate to a git command whether it running as plumbing or not.

Just a thought.
