Well that's a chicken-and-egg problem, isn't it.  How will a library
become widespread unless something uses it?

That something will not be the git core itself.  Otherwise we will
lose a stable reference implementation to catch its bugs.

Well, the whole question here is whether git-subtree can become part of
core if it is based on libgit2.  It boils down to what you mean by
"widespread," I guess.  Does "widespread" mean "available as a package
in major distributions," "installed by default in major distributions"
or something else?
