3. Non-binaries are called '*-scripts'.

  In earlier discussions some people seem to like the
  distinction between *-script and others; I did not
  particularly like it, but I am throwing this in for
  discussion.

I for one think this makes the command name dependent on a non-essential
implementation detail, so -script should go.


I had the same opinion.  The counter-argument people raised when
this topic came up on the list was that it would help grepping
in the source tree.

I'm tempted to suggest doing something along these lines:

 - Rename things that are implemented in shell from *-script to
   *.sh, and perl to *.perl in the source tree;

*.pl is what is usually used for perl scripts.


 - Install them without .{sh,perl} suffix.

Once this is done, the users nor the 'git' wrapper do not have
to deal with *-script.
