I just sent out a patch in my mail "[PATCH] Makefile: add
clean-obsolete-scripts target" which should help.

Well, you also have to give people at least notice _when_ the
target should be called. It can take long time until the victim
notices that he has git-branch (from .sh) and git-branch(.exe).
And that in two places: in the installation target directory and
in the build directory (because in windows it is not fcking
possible to remove "." from the beginning of PATH).

But in general, it should be fine to be called just once.

Don't think so. We still have candidates for conversion
into C (git-checkout and git-commit being my favorites).
