No, but you don't need to call those commands directly. I've never used them and I do branching/merging a lot :) There is two set of commands in Git. The "user" oriented ones are described by: $ git Others may be useful for building high level script to fit your needs.

Only git-svn is in perl at the moment. The rest is pure C and some scripts. During the past years many scripts have been rewritten in plain C for performance reasons.

It is called fast-export and fast-import. Many DVCS are proposing tools to do both.
