I think at this point git-subtree is widely used enough to move out of

After narrow/partial clone becomes real, it should be "easy" to
implement some sort of narrow checkout that would achieve the same
thing. But it took me forever with all other stuff to get back to
this.

If we remove it from contrib and there are people willing to
update/maintain it, should it be a separate repository then? The
willing people will have much more freedom to update it. And I don't
have to answer the questions about who will maintain this thing in
git.git. I don't like the idea of adding new (official) shell-based
commands either to be honest.
