I glanced at git to see what it does with respect to uninstall, and unless I
completely missed it, it just doesn't support it. Is there any reason for
that? Maybe a similar patch to git would be in order?

And yes, I do understand that once you install git, there's no way you'd
want to uninstall it :)
