Do you want to try adding the following into (say) {{assemble.gradle}} and see if it works for you:
{code}
task groovy(type: JavaExec, dependsOn:jarAll) {
    // next three lines only for master/GROOVY_2_6_X
    if (rootProject.hasProperty('useAntlr4')) {
        jvmArgs += ["-Dgroovy.antlr4=true", "-Dgroovy.extract.doc.comment=true"]
    }
    doLast {
        if (!rootProject.hasProperty('groovyArgs')) {
            throw new GradleException("required property 'groovyArgs' not set")
        }
    }

    main = 'groovy.ui.GroovyMain'
    classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath + jarAll.outputs.files
    args rootProject.findProperty('groovyArgs') ?: []
}
{code}
And try calling with something like:
{code}
./gradlew groovy -PgroovyArgs="-e println new Date()"
{code}
If that works for you we can polish and make it into a PR. Otherwise feel free to tweak as needed and make a PR yourself.

> I'd like to be able to run a groovy shell from the git checkout (i.e. {{./gradlew run}}) without having to create and install a distBin.
> This could probably done via the Gradle application plugin (https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/application_plugin.html).
