That's probably not a bad idea for the builtin commands. At least as an option.
We do end up still using the dashed form for certain things, but they
are already special-cased (ie things like "git-receive-pack" and
"git-shell" that very much get executed directly, and for fundamental
reasons).
As to it being a design mistake? No, not really. It made a lot of
sense at the time. The fact is, the problem is Windows, not git. I
know you have your hangups, but that's your problem.
