  Did you rpm verify?
  # rpm -qV vim-enhanced
  # rpm -qV gdb
  Did you diff the text files?
  Did you "binary diff" the binaries?
  How many bytes difference? constant number?
prelink???
I do not think prelink would alter text configuration files like .Xauthority or .bash_history
No - the simple act of logging in did that - my vote is for prelink - git is probably unaware of prelink.
