This is a problem with lots of packages, not just git.  Here are two
things I do:
            
* When I remember, I use "gnu stow" to manage installations; doing so
  makes uninstallation easy.

* Failing that, I run

        find /usr -printf '%T@ ' -ls | sort -n | cut -d\  -f 2-

  and assume that all the installed files have the same last-modified
  timestamps -- once you've found one of them in that pipeline's output,
  you've found them all, since they'll all be adjacent.

Asking the Iraqi people to assume Saddam's debts
is rather like telling a man who has been shot in the head
that he has to pay for the bullet.
