I rarely use git, so I guess I could uninstall it -- but why would gnuit be blocked by git? Does this have something to do with the fact that apps-misc/gnuit used to be called apps-misc/git? The collision was caused by Linus himself. He decided to name his new version control system 'git' without checking to see if anyone else was using the name, and by the time the gnu-interactive-tools devs got around to objecting, Linus just plowed right over them, saying (literally) tough. It was really rather rude, and the only time I've been disappointed by Linus.
