Well, you have simplified it too much. It seems to be basically equivalent to 
curl http://… | sudo bash. (AFAIK, there is no authentication when using git:// 
URL.) The signature verification mentioned on the page is there for a reason – 
you should not run the code without knowing it has not been altered.

It would be even better to use either https;// URL or SSH URL, as they 
authenticate the transport. This can somehow mitigate attacker providing you an 
old version with known vulnerabilities.
