But all git scripts still use mostly git-foo instead of git foo :( They
must be changed, too!

I think it doesn't matter (mostly). The git wrapper sets the exec path
and augments PATH, so that the scripts work. It uses the directory of
argv[0] if --exec-path is not used. The only problematic cases are where
non-builtins (like git-send-pack) invoke other commands or hooks.
