Having said that, it would therefore be better to point folk at gitcli
in a few more places, not just the 'see also' line at the very end of
the general 'git' page, and buried within rev-parse.

Didn't we update the very early part of git(1) for exactly for that
reason recently?

I don't think many people read git(1) directly, as there are many other
starting points to learn Git (official tutorial, user-manual, and tens
of very good tutorial on the web). On the other hand, reading
git-<command> is probably much more common, as it is the only place to
find exhaustive documentation about a particular command.
