...the plan to move git-foo out of /usr/bin has been discussed and wrapped up quite a while ago (am I confident to say without being subscriber of git@vger.k'org myself).
Instead of unhelpful complaints after the fact, you could try which of the many available alternatives work for you: Extended PATH, shell aliases, command line completion setup, links in ~/bin, or so many other possibilities of varying degree of sophistication. If none of these fix whatever issues you experience, there is surely opportunity to discuss details on the git list.
