Extra fork() and exec() problem still exists, but "git cmd"
format have worked with "git diff-tree" and "git rev-list" for
quite some time (since Jun 14th), so you might've always done it
with dash but that is not a requirement.

It looks like that both you and Pasky are not so enthusiastic
about moving thing out of /usr/bin/, so let's keep things the
way they are for 1.0 release and rethink when we do 2.0 (or
whatever comes after 1.0).
