| This directory used to contain scripted implementations of builtins |
| that have since been rewritten in C. |
| |
| They have now been removed, but can be retrieved from an older commit |
| that removed them from this directory. |
| |
| They're interesting for their reference value to any aspiring plumbing |
| users who want to learn how pieces can be fit together, but in many |
| cases have drifted enough from the actual implementations Git uses to |
| be instructive. |
| |
| Other things that can be useful: |
| |
| * Some commands such as git-gc wrap other commands, and what they're |
| doing behind the scenes can be seen by running them under |
| GIT_TRACE=1 |
| |
| * Doing `git log` on paths matching '*--helper.c' will show |
| incremental effort in the direction of moving existing shell |
| scripts to C. |
