A small Debian-specific patch to rename the offending scripts (and drop
the Conflicts: entries) is cheap.

Not sure I understand the proper use of dpkg-divert in Debian, but could 
_this_ git-core package perhaps ask the user which set of the two 
packages he wish to keep as git command and use dpkg-divert to change 
the other to another name to some other name?

This may be a possibility.  I'm discussing the details of this kind of
solution on the debian-devel list right now.

Come join the fun!  I make a poor flame-conduit between the git list
and the debian-devel list, cut out the middle man and save.  ;-)
