I don't think you should bother with such reasoning: just put the &&
everywhere.

Without the &&, it's OK in the current version, but what if someone adds
something before the echo? Then it becomes

git something-important &&
echo debug
git something-else-important

and a failure on the first call is unnoticed because of the missing &&
afterwards.

The echo is not supposed to fail, so either the && does not change
anything, or something went terribly wrong and you'd rather notice it.
