I would tend to prefer a compatibility package or similar.
My fingers have long learned "git-prefix<tab>" for several commands.
And Fedora puts so much crap in /usr/bin anyway, I don't see it a big
deal to have all those names in the directory.
Actually, I bet git-foo, git-bar, and git-blah could all link to the
same compatibility script, which simply invokes "git $command $args..."
That would be nice.
