We can't get rid of plumbing. It is part of Git probably forever and is
really really convenient for scripting in any language you want.
The only valid argument IMHO is the way too large number of Git commands
directly available from the cmdline.
The solution: make purely plumbing commands _not_ directly available
from the command line. Instead, they can be available through 'git
lowlevel <blah>' instead of 'git <blah>' and only 'git lowlevel' would
stand in your shell default path.
Such a scheme can be implemented in parallel with the current one for a
release while the direct plumbing commands are deprecated in order to
give script authors a transition period to fix their code.
