I'd vote against it: As of now, I can perfectly do

export PATH=$PATH:/whereever/my/git/is
git-init-db

which would not work with this patch. I don't mind the templating 
mechanism per se, though. It should make life easier for new bees.
Let's just make sure git-init-db is usable without installing 
anything.

Ciao,
