Hi,

This should be a non-issue.  We really should start deprecating 
"git-<command>" in favour of "git <command>" for real.

New users should not even be told that this is correct usage.

My reason?  We have plumbing, and we will always have plumbing, as 
commands.  A regular git user does not _want_ to see that.  Without said 
deprecation she _will_, however.

Ciao,
