In your ~/.whateverrc, put this:

git() {
  while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
    test "$1" != "git" && break;
    shift;
  done;
  command git $@;
}

This assumes a POSIX-compatible shell but I think you've got the idea.
("command" is a builtin which forces interpreting the following word as
the name of an external program.)
