I agree. If we actually start moving the subcommands into a separate directory, I suspect scripts will be fixed up soon enough. Of course people *can* do it by just adding the path, but more likely, we'll just see people start doign "git xyz" instead of "git-xyz". And from a consistency standpoint, that would be a *good* thing. There are many reasons why the git-xyz format *cannot* be the "consistent" form (ranging from the flags like --bare and -p to just aliases), so encouraging people to move to "git xyz" is just a good idea. Yeah, yeah, the man-pages need the "git-xyz" form, but on the other hand, rather than "man git-xyz", you can just do "git help xyz" instead, and now you're consistently avoiding the dash again!
