I do not see how it is _Git_ that breaks itself by repeated installs.  It 
detects that there is an Error.pm.  Fine.  You _remove_ it while 
installing Git.  Not fine.  Not Git's error.

I guess I take the view that anything _installed_ by git is a part of git.
If git installs Error.pm, it can't expect the user to keep it around
if he uninstalls that version of git.

True, as we do not give "uninstall" target.  That's what distros are for.
