Isn't it more likely that on a multi-user machine all users are sharing one install of git - in which case you do want the upgrade of facilities to be system-wide. Otherwise you have to tell every user to edit their .gitconfig to enable the new facilities - users shouldn't have to care about that sort of thing, that's what admins are for.
