That woul be surprising. Git was not invented until early April 2005.
At the moment I still wait (impatiently, because then my current
contract ends) for April 2008.
Please realize that you make it hard on _everybody else_ than you to
follow who said what by egoistically deleting things that are important.
Such as who said what.

The important thing to realise is that time is such a wonderful
dimension to be exposed to: not only do you live (experience things
that you did not know before), but also other people live and learn.
IOW even Linus realised that the git-xxx format is not _that_ good.
Which is why -- as you should have realised if you did not subscribe 5
minutes ago -- we do not recommend git-xxx at all, but insist on "git
xxx".
I didn't realize that.
Git doesn't give any warnings, and manpages give the dashed examples
only.
Although I was subscribed to git-list from day 1, I must admit that
these days I don't read this list too closely (hence being caught in
surprise at this point).
I assume things started with the following commit; but really, can we
please start with some deprecation notice before really moving it around
in user-visible location.
That deprecation notice was the one you originally replied to. So your
request has been granted before you even asked for it.
But I suspect that you did not understand what I said: if you install a
git script (that is not part of the "official" Git), it will probably be
in the PATH, and you will not have a problem.
Hth,
