That's the best compromise IMHO. Those who want git-foo can have it via several and easy means. Those who want 'git foo' have it by default which IMHO is pretty sane (the other way around is less easy so 'git foo' being the default is the most sensible alternative). Platforms where filesystem links are not available simply don't have to support the git-foo form, period. I doubt users of such platforms will care much. All the rest is only bikeshedding.
