I'd share your distaste against an empty log message to justify the
changes, but I do not see where those "quite some surprised users" would
come from.

At least people know "git foo" form is and has been supported, so if
somebody changes "git-ls-files" to "git ls-files", nobody would go "gee, I
did not know I can write it without dash" these days...
