I think I understood your points, but for normal "people
learning git", hash-object, write-tree, commit-tree and mktag
are _not_ the commands they need to know about.  These low level
commands are for Porcelain writers.  The users do not create
blobs or trees or commits -- they "git add", "git rm", "git
commit", and "git pull" and as part of these actions, blobs,
trees and commits are created.  The users do not even create
tags with mktag -- they use "git tag" for that.
