You'll know better what you meant, but I interpreted the docs you added

programmer's docs, 2007-01-17) as a guide for in-tree porcelain scripts.

No, it is not for "in-tree".  Especially back then, one of the Git's
goal was to be and to stay scriptable, and git-sh-setup was for those
who are scripting, either "in-tree" or custom Porcelain people wrote
around Git as part of a larger Git ecosystem.
