I had the same opinion.  The counter-argument people raised when
this topic came up on the list was that it would help grepping
in the source tree.

Grepping for what?

I am only a messenger for their argument and, as I said, I did
not particularly buy that argument because I myself do not find
it too disturbing that a grep in my built tree says "Binary file
libgit.a matches", especially I typically run grep in my Emacs
buffer and C-x ` (next-error) does not get confused by such
useless hits.  But I can understand why it matters to people
working in other environments.

In any case, this would be for a very specialized,
developer-only, occasional task. I don't see how that warrants
a fractured tool namespace for /all/ users /all/ the time.

Yes, you convinced the convert again.

Now I have to find a poor unsuspecting volunteer to do the
actual heavylifting after 0.99.6 happens ;-).
