  (C) Just don't do it. Leave the git-foo commands as they were. They
      weren't actually hurting anyone, and you don't actually _gain_
      anything by removing them. For those occasional nutters who
      _really_ care about the size of /usr/bin, give them the _option_
      of a 'make install' without installing the aliases.

Do some research; [...]
...the plan to move git-foo out of /usr/bin has been discussed and 
wrapped up quite a while ago (am I confident to say without being 
subscriber of git@vger.k'org myself).

Instead of unhelpful complaints after the fact, you could try which of 
the many available alternatives work for you:  Extended PATH, shell 
aliases, command line completion setup, links in ~/bin, or so many other 
possibilities of varying degree of sophistication.  If none of these fix 
whatever issues you experience, there is surely opportunity to discuss 
details on the git list.
