Yep.

I know, I didn't like it either but could not think of a better way.

That's the conclusion I came to.  Moving it to a first-class command
should be pretty simple when the time comes.

I am still waiting to hear from Avery on that.  I will ping him again.
My intention is to certainly participate in maintenance.  I use
git-subtree daily so it's in my interest to keep it working.

I plan to send patcher to git@vger.  I don't think a pull would be
practical given the removal of redundant files and other things.
