If we want to prevent this, then we should not be installing it in the
public perl module path.  Or we should at least add a note to the
manpages we ship :) to recommend not using it.

I think a note in manpages is fine; maybe a load-time warning
to non-git.git users.  We shouldn't be breaking other peoples'
code when they upgrade, though.
