Re: Uninstalling Git

First, I'd like to uninstall the thing completely, how do I do that?

I'd use checkinstall to install it (again), and then use the distro's 
regular tools; in case of Ubuntu, that would be dpkg I believe.

Second, what would be the correct procedure to follow if I would like 
just to upgrade to a newer version? install over the older perhaps? Is 
that always safe in the sense that there won't be any dangling piece of 
bin nor doc?

On Linux this should be safe at all times.

Hth,
