Maybe we should try to see how hard it would be to issue warnings when
"git-foo" form is used for builtins before we declare that dashed form is
deprecated for builtins, and start warning when the deprecation actually
happens.  As many people on this thread suggested, it would make the
transition easier.

I would tend to prefer a compatibility package or similar.

My fingers have long learned "git-prefix<tab>" for several commands. 
And Fedora puts so much crap in /usr/bin anyway, I don't see it a big 
deal to have all those names in the directory.

Actually, I bet git-foo, git-bar, and git-blah could all link to the 
same compatibility script, which simply invokes "git $command $args..."

That would be nice.
