I have only written extensions and tools for/around Mercurial, and am  
planning to try to port some to Git, so maybe I can contribute back  
some impressions about that.

Generally, it was interesting for me to consider that a flexible well- 
documented command line API could be easier to use than an a partial  
unstable Python API... but I still have to try Git to see if this  
consideration holds true ;)
