be something we strive to undo. I think the complaint is insane  
(because
the answer is "well, nobody forces you to _use_ all the power and

we give you!"), but still, it's a complaint, so let's just assume  
the user
is right, and try to fix it.

So when you do "git-<tab><tab>" it should just beep at you and not  
show
anything at all by default. And when you do "git <tab><tab>", we  
should
make sure that the bash expansion (or zsh or whatever) shows a nice
collection of common plumbing, not soemthing really scary.

What will happen to gitk?

Shouldn't it be included in the nice collection?  gitk is
an essential command.  Then, following your reasoning,
"git <tab><tab>" should recommend it, no?

Note, "git gui" already works.  gitk would really be the last
git "command" that can't be accessed through "git <command>"
