I do not necessarily think so.  This is not even a performance
critical part of the system, so if there _were_ no other
constraints, I would rather keep scripts like this as scripts.

I agree with Junio; I think the scripts are much more readable and
easier to understand; In fact, it would be nice if the script were
preserved somewhere, perhaps as comments in the .c file.

Or move them to contrib/examples, as was done with git-resolve.sh.

That probably is a sensible thing to do.  I'll amend the patch.
