[proposal]

[Amos King]

I often find that it is useful to interact with git when doing a build. I found that `Mix.SCM.Git` has many useful functions that I have rewritten in some projects. I would love to pull those functions out into their own module that can be documented and exposed. I'm not sure where I would put the module, but since the code is already in the core I don't think another hex package is the right solution. I'm willing to do this, but I want to see what others think before I put the work into it. Would anyone else find this useful?

Those functions are highly specific to how Mix works and not general purpose. They are callbacks after all. If we expose them, there will be a chance they diverge and we will have to keep two implementations: one for internal usage and another for the public API. Going with a separate library or tackling your own is the way to go.

Thank you for the feedback. I will look into doing just that.
