If I understand him correctly, Sebastian's point was that it
channels only to git-*-scripts without channelling to any of the
git-* binaries.
What about generalizing it a little, so that:

     git word

calls:

    git-word-script if it exists and is executable in the path

or, if not,

    git-word if it exists and is executable in the path.

Then:

    git update-cache 

would work as expected.
