I just wanted to get a sense of how many people share this "Git  
should
be in pure C" doctrine.

Count me as one of them. Git is all about speed, and C is the best
choice for speed, especially in context of Git's workload.

I concur, but I also feel that D, Clean and OCaml are viable  
alternatives.

Yes, they have reputation for speed[1], but also a smaller number of  
people know them[2].
