I realize that a lot of people use the "git-xyzzy" format, and we have
various historical reasons for it...

One of the historical reasons was to allow users of gnu interactive
tools to delete the git wrapper script, as outlined in 'INSTALL'.

Seems unlikely that 'git' could still be deleted if your proposed
changes are implemented.  I recall that a few people cared a lot
about this, and not too long ago.

All this would be less of a problem if Git consisted only of builtins, 
since you could easily do "mv git gitscm" then. *sigh*

That *would* be a problem for all porcelains - stgit, guilt, qgit,
etc, all have to find git...
