That's the same about git, except that you write external programs. 
Everything you need is provided in the form of "plumbing" commands.

I prefer that to writing plugins, because I can do it in whichever 
language I prefer (I've done Perl, Thomas Z. has done an entirely new 
front-end with QtCore). And it doesn't require me to write a plugin or 
program for a simple task with the internals.
