How about moving the plumbing commands to libexec/ or some such? (Or libexec/git/ - then you can put it back in your PATH if you really want easy access to run them directly).
Maybe I'm being pedantic, but it's not about "scaring the user" -- it's simply that the "visible commands" is part of the UI and having it unnecessarily complex (many more commands than the user needs to learn) makes it much harder to get started using git. It's a very practical thing.
I strongly second Theodore's suggestions for cleaning up some of the help texts, too.
