I am not aware of such a thing. In Subversion terms, this would require
writing libsvn_ra_git --- i.e., a wire protocol client module. (But read

It sounds like what you are really looking for is a git cheatsheet for those
five commands (e.g., 'git commit -amm && git push'), or a wrapper around git(1)
that tweaks the UI (these seem to crop up every so often), or...
You could look into using another DVCS to interact with Git repositories; for
example:
