(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.Acked-by: A Large Angry SCM <redacted>

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. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- =--- ==-=- http://arcgraph.de/sr/
