Good, and look in /usr/bin, all those 2973 binary are all disconnected.

Here we are speaking about a tool as a whole : Git.

And I agree that hiding some of them will probably help new comers. We can also argue that a new comers should read some documentation :)

After all I'm not sure what's the right move !

At least let me say something constructive :) I'm a new comer to Git. I've read many documentations before grabbing the system and I've not been impressed by the number of binaries in /usr/bin... Because I've almost never looked there. Most of the time I'm using "git <tab>" and the bash completion feature is just right for me.
