Remote code execution, git, and OS X
There are no symlinks in /usr/bin, they are wrapper programs determining whether you already have the Command Line Tools or full Xcode installed. If not, they will open dialogs asking you to install these additional software packages.

And if you do have them installed? What does it do then - invoke git?

Yes. It uses the tools from the location currently selected as the active developer directory (via xcode-select).

I guess that's better. You still can't kill the execute bit on the binary. But the way that Apple are doing things seems a bit of a ridiculous.
