Don't deprecate git-foo and leave them in $gitexecdir as things are now.

That's the best compromise IMHO.
Those who want git-foo can have it via several and easy means.  Those

who want 'git foo' have it by default which IMHO is pretty sane (the

other way around is less easy so 'git foo' being the default is the most

sensible alternative).
Platforms where filesystem links are not available simply don't have to

support the git-foo form, period.  I doubt users of such platforms will

care much.
All the rest is only bikeshedding.
