Yes, my impression also is that Git has migrated into the realm of 
cc/gcc in that everybody has it, so it can depend indirectly on a 
possibly earlier version of itself.

Although it is worrisome that our collective trusted computing base 
keeps growing, let's face it, if there's a security bug in Git we're all 
in big trouble anyway.
