By the way, while the "deprecation plan" still has my attention ;-),
there is another thing I've been wanting to see happen *without*
burning me like the last time it was brought up [*1*], which is also
hard to come up with a reasonable deprecation path.

A newer port like Git for Windows, where I suspect that most of the
users are not even aware of the "git-foo" form, can probably get
away by not shipping the libexec/git/git-foo without getting its
users complaining (and as you repeatedly said, nobody on Windows
write shell scripts, so lack of support for old scripts writtin in
the days back when git-foo was a norm is perfectly fine there).  But
I am not sure about my tree where audiences are beyond Windows, and
I certainly do not want to get burned again myself.  

Somebody else volunteering to take both blame (and flame) and credit
would be most welcomed ;-).
