It's really up to you and Catalin, but if you expect people might run with git 1.4.4, it would make more sense to stick with the tried-and-proven names and wait until you are reasonably sure that everybody you care about are running at least 1.5.0.

The only reason the in-tree scripts git.git ships with use the new names is because they know they are part of a revision that has them.
