... and explain where I'm coming from:
My goal is to *use* Git. When something does not work *for me* I want
to be able to fix it (and contribute the fix) in *shortest time
possible* and with *minimal efforts*. As for me it's a diversion from
my main activities.
The fact that Git is written in C does not really contribute to that goal.
Suggestion to use C++ is the only alternative with existing C codebase.
So while C++ may not be the best choice "academically speaking" it's
pretty much the only practical choice.

Sorry, but for fixing things in C, I can look and work locally.  For
fixing things in C++, I first need to understand the class
hierarchies used in the project.
