Your right.  But I figured it wasn't a big deal since this is just
an application and not library code.  Nobody should be linking
against it.

Perhaps the better solution is to rename the provided implementation
to git_; maybe even better to move it off to the compat library
area where other should-have-been-provided-by-the-OS definitions are.
