random (likely stupid) idea: perhaps git could use ... a separate Git 
repo to track gitexecdir installations in $HOME/bin/? That could be 
tagged appropriately so you'd always know what to uninstall and whether 
there are clashes or incompatibilities.

[ Oh, and i could switch between git versions without having to rebuild
  ;-) ]
