Can the two operations be done somehow using git commands?
With the above you assume all users have default setup with git files in
.git, but one may decide for:
GIT/.git
kernel/<kernelsrc-tree>

and then use:
export GIT_DIR=../GIT/.git

You need to do some sanitycheck if git is installed first.
`which git-rev-list` or similar.
