Yes, the plumbing is really lovely when it comes time to whipping =20 together a quick tool for a special task; much nicer than writing a =20 plugin. =46or the benefit of newcomers, I just wish the plumbing was kept a =20 little bit out of sight. You know, porcelain in /usr/bin and plumbing =20 in /usr/libexec or other such place. It's fine once you've learnt your workflows and know the 10 or 15 Git =20 tools that you'll be using day-to-day; but for people who are just =20 starting off this can be a little bit intimidating: $ git- Display all 146 possibilities?
