I am not quite certain if I agree. With a similar reasoning, you could introduce a flag to prevent pull-request from being installed, and git-tag, or other rarely used functions. Is it so bad to have gitk and git-gui installed? I mean, you are likely to just try them (and possibly like them!) at some stage, because the graphical representation is so much clearer than what _any_ text representation can do.

Ciao, Dscho
