Derivatives of geodesics

We could easily add derivatives of geodesics, since they are either

  • the parallel transported X from geodesic(M, p, X, t) to the point t (if parallel transport is available)
  • or the properly rescaled log(M, geodesic(M,p,X,t), q) (divide by the distance of the point at t to q, multiply by the distance pq).

What do you think?

Sure, that would be a nice addition.
