I'm not sure the existing socket location matters, in the way that it
does for config. The socket is inherently ephemeral, and designed to go
away after a few minutes (and the program designed to run sanely when it
does not exist).
So yes, when you switch from older git to newer git, you might
technically have a cache-daemon running that you _could_ contact, but
don't find it. But I don't think it's a big deal in practice, and not
worth designing around.
So I think it would be OK to just switch the default path to wherever
XDG recommends ephemeral stuff to go (which sounds like
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) and be done.
