As others have asked, why not? Does anything actually rely on the
script existing by that name?
At any rate, if you're absolutely dead set on keeping it, I suppose
you could divert any preexisting instance of /usr/bin/git to, say,
/usr/bin/git.not-cogito, and then have the script fall back to it when
not called with one of the handful of supported first arguments:
#!/bin/bash -norc
cmd=git-$1-script
if command -v "$cmd" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
shift
exec "$cmd" "$@"
else
exec -a "$0" /usr/bin/git.not-cogito "$@"
fi
(You'd likewise need to divert /usr/share/man/man1/git.1.gz, and
perhaps add a pointer to the diverted manpage in your version.)
