git isn't
working because the wrong git is in the right place :(

Well, I just hit this yesterday on a colleage's machine who was trying
to get going with git.His first try was to `apt-get install git` and
as that didn't lead anywhere he fetched the git (scm) sources and
built them.

Not sure how to deal with this. Packages already record (or can
record) it as a conflict, but source built stuff is different. Perhaps
during `make install` we should try and exec git --version towards the
end and print a big fat warning?

Or stop the egos and do a name change as would be the honourable way
especially as gitscm is less than a year old...
