The feature in question concern Git work in general as far as I can see,
and there is no technical point in delaying it until Emacs itself moves
to Git.

"I'll not be motivated to do that before the move is actually about to
happen" (which I suspect to be the actual situation) is not a "rational"
consideration.  At any rate: an earlier implementation means more
testing before the move.  Depending on what other problems crop up while
moving, having this one out of one's hair early might be prudent.
