I suggest cmds/ to avoid tab-completion conflict with compat.

Move them to commands/ as well?

It don't like having "perl" and "python" directories (makes me thing what if another language appears). If they are just bindings (python dir may not be), how about "bindings" directory and throw them all flat in there?

A few more things:
 - I like the fact that you leave only git.c in topdir. Straight entry
point for newcomers.
 - On the same topic of newcomers, should we pull
Documentation/technical out to topdir? A symlink is OK.
 - test-programs should be still in t/ though. I'm not an advocate for
deep layout, but it makes sense to me to keep test programs close to
test scripts.
 - perhaps we can merge block-sha1 and ppc into one? We can rename
ppc/sha1.* to sha1/ppc-sha1.*
 - I agree with Jeff that generated files should stay in the same
place with source files. Although I tend to use "git ls", untracked
files do not bother me much ;-)
