It is trivial.

Except that we do not have any git-apply-patch.exe.  Maybe you meant 
git-apply.exe?

How can you say that they are excellent, and then say they are not there 
yet?

FWIW I just checked.  In msysGit, git-apply.exe and git-diff.exe are 
identical (no mystery there: they are both builtins), and weigh in with 
2893142 bytes.

If you're serious about wanting something reliable, quick, but smaller 
than that, it should be _trivial_ to cut down.  For example, a simple 
"strip git-diff.exe" brings it down to 821248 bytes.

And that's without removing all the other builtins, which would be 
trivial, too (just cull "struct cmd_struct commands" in git.c, and 
"BUILT_INS" and "BUILTIN_OBJS" in the Makefile).

Hth,
Dscho
