The rm $(which git)-* thing should definitely do the trick, though. You shouldn't ever have to worry about uninstalling stuff as long as the installation layout doesn't change in the future (which it likely won't), so this tip really only applies to the 1.5.x to 1.6.x upgrade.

After you've done that, download the latest code and install it. It's important that you use the git 1.5.x code to uninstall it since that's the version that you installed initially. If you have trouble uninstalling then you can probably cheat and simply: $ ls $(which git)-* $ rm $(which git)-* prior to your new install.
