  (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.
(Oh look, my /usr/bin has 3806 files in it. And except when I

accidentally point the $%#@&! GNOME file dialog box at it, I don't

_care_.)
