Since some existing tooling - various scripts, GUIs, etc - use the git CLI as an API, it would be pretty cool if a subset of this implementation's commands matched the originals exactly, even if some convenience commands are added on top of that. That would allow it to be slotted-in in many more places

It's a project goal to make the API so accessible and easy to use, that's it's straightforward to quickly throw together your very own custom commands that do exactly what you need. This should allow building these slot-in commands as the need arises, and without breaking into sweat.
