Isn't it more likely that on a multi-user machine all users are sharing one 
install of git - in which case you do want the upgrade of facilities to be 
system-wide.  Otherwise you have to tell every user to edit their .gitconfig 
to enable the new facilities - users shouldn't have to care about that sort 
of thing, that's what admins are for.
