You cannot assume current Git on all systems, yet. The current Ubuntu
LTS (14.04 Trusty Tahr) has 1.9.1, and in corporate environments that
will be used until 16.04.

You personally can use whatever practice you deem safe and convenient,
but if we’re talking about generic recommendations, we have to account
for old Git versions.
