I thought Porcelains and people's script can just say 'git foo' everywhere where it currently says 'git-foo', and it should work before and after the change, and that is what I did to my private scripts. But you are right, it is nicer if 'git-foo' continued to work with a single patch to cg-Xlib or somewhere central like that.

Do you mean 'git --show-git-libdir' or something like that?
