I would like to share this very rough prototype with everyone.

I started this as a just-for-fun exercise to learn about the git internal

API

I started to rewrite git-pull for similar reasons a couple of months ago,
but I haven't had time to complete it.  It looks like my version has less
work remaining than yours, would you like me to share it?

Finally, there is the possibility that in the process of conversion bugs

or incompatible behavioral changes may be introduced which are not caught by
the test suite. Ideally, I think the solution is to improve the test suite
and make it as comprehensive as possible, but writing a comprehensive test
suite may be too time consuming. 

This is why I haven't had time to finish and submit my patch.  While the c
code is pretty much complete, I felt the test suite needed some extension
before I could be confident the new code is correct.
