The three reasons I can recall are:
- too many commands on completion
- confusion between "git-*" and "git *" equivalence, and inability to
perform some operations with "git-*" (like git --no-pager).
- I might be wrong, but I think there was discussion of a
hardlink-challenged platform where we wasted space by copying the
'git' binary. Taking git-* out of /usr/bin is the first step to
removing the hardlinks entirely.
