Basically, it boils down to the end result. If you design things for "people", then things tend to become hard to automate, and it's hard to make wrappers around it. Maybe you've even made the interfaces interactive, and thus any wrappers around it are simply screwed, or need to do insane things.
Okay, I mistook the scope of you comments to apply to all of git rather than as a reminder that we can't forget about the toolkit design. So I take it you're not at all against git including higher level user commands; just so long as they're built on top of lower level toolkit commands that other porcelain can use as well. In this particular case I see "git repo-config" as the low level command that any porcelain can use to access the remotes information and the proposed "git remotes" as a simple convenience wrapper on top of this. Of course, everyone has to agree on the config file format; but that is true whether the human-friendly wrapper exists or not. Sean
