Hey, but I bet you now as a result feel you really understand git, right?
;)
You did it the old-fashioned way - the way real men did it back in June.
In general, doing "ls *.sh" in the git source tree shows you pretty much
every command that you might ever want to use. Using the actual core git
binaries directly is normally not all that useful, unless you want to do
some strange shell pipeline to do statistics about different things in the
tree.
