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.
