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;
- Install them without .{sh,perl} suffix.
Once this is done, the users nor the 'git' wrapper do not have
to deal with *-script.
