CVS and SVN refugees (like me :-)) should probably be pointed to
porcelain.  Showing them a mixture of relatively unpolished "git
<subcommand>" and "git-*" commands is not likely to impress them with
the simplicity and elegance of the tool.  I don't think the surface
structure of "<command> <subcommand>" is an important factor, and
the first time they see a 40-hex-digit number, they'll be headed for the
hills.

Personally I think removal of "git" script is a bad idea.

I'd agree, for the opposite reason: the git script is a decent interface
for power users who don't want to use anything porcelainish.  It also
provides a good place to hang custom functionality.
