I'd agree to that but I've always considered this an issue for distros.
We've supported an ability for them to specify a gitexecdir separate
from /usr/bin in our Makefile for almost two years.
The tab completion for bash and zsh would also help you here, but I see
there are quite a few commands that should not be there, and it's time
to clean it up.
$ git <tab>
add fetch push
am filter-branch rebase
annotate format-patch rebase--interactive
apply fsck relink
archive gc remote
bisect get-tar-commit-id repack
blame grep request-pull
branch gui reset
bundle imap-send resolve
checkout init revert
checkout-index instaweb rm
cherry less send-email
cherry-pick lg shortlog
citool log show
clean lost-found show-branch
clone ls-files show-ref
co ls-remote stash
commit ls-tree status
config merge submodule
convert-objects mergetool svnimport
count-objects mv tag
describe name-rev var
diff pickaxe verify-pack
diff-stages pull whatchanged
Perhaps this list can be a starting point...
