I'm just saying that it should be considered a secondary thing, and we should have the long-term *option* to remove it. And in order to do that, we should start removing our dependency on it earlier rather than later. Your whole alias argument is bogus, since we don't _allow_ aliases to override the command (as you yourself did admit). So changing the current scripts from using "git-xyzzy" to using "git xyzzy" changes nothing at all - except it gives people the _option_ to stop installing the git-* links if they don't want to. With my script, you can actually do it and have a mostly working setup. Yeah, not installing the git-* links will actually break some things, but it won't break the really common stuff. As it is, we have to have the git-* links somewhere, and I don't see why you or others argue that that _requirement_ is somehow a better thing than not requiring it. With my patch, it's a _choice_, rather than a straight-jacket.
