$ aptitude search gnuit

$ aptitude search git-core

$ sudo update-alternatives --config git
There are 2 alternatives which provide `git'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1 /usr/bin/git.transition
2 /usr/bin/git-scm
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 1
Using `/usr/bin/git.transition' to provide `git'.
Is that a problem? Which one should I use, git-transition or git-scm?
Shoud I delete one of them?
