That's a lot of functions to digest at once. We were initially talking
about refactoring
the internal implementation of git commands for better flexibility.
There are many more
functions in that series.

It would help to have more than one series:

    Improve output layout and error reporting
    Improve "keep-going" interface and functionality
    Improve layout and whitespace

Other significant functional changes could stand on their own and could
probably use feedback from earlier items, which saves rewriting and
testing patches. For example, the portability issues discovered in patch
#3 may (hypothetically) affect all following patches.

At the end of the process, I think builds.h will be greatly improved.
