Please do not suggest using the alternatives system this way. The
alternatives system is there for situations as above - when two
programs provide a similar or indistinguishable service, such as a
window-manager or ed2k parser. cogito and GNU Interactive Tools
provide remarkedly different functions.
My suggestion is to rename the binary in the cogito package to
something which makes more sense, perhaps cogito-git.
