Git::Wrapper::Plus
Initially, I started off with "Dist::Zilla::Util::" and friends, but I
soon discovered so many quirks in "git", especially multiple-version
support, and that such a toolkit would be more useful independent.
So "Git::Wrapper::Plus" is a collection of tools for using
"Git::Wrapper", aiming to work on all versions of Git since at least Git
1.3.
For instance, you probably don't realize this, but on older "git"'s,
echo > file
git add file
git commit
echo 2 > file
git add file
git commit
does nothing, because on Git 1.3, "git add" is only for the addition to
tree, not subsequent updates.
echo > file
git add file
git commit
echo 2 > file
git update-index file
git commit
Is how it works there.
And you'd have probably not realized this till you had a few smoke
reports back with failures on old Gits.
And there's more common failures, like some commands simply don't exist
on old gits.
