Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar due to Git

Rather fond of git and don't want to lose it. Is it safe to run brew link as suggested here:

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:

git

Short answer: Yes, it is safe to do that.

Note also that OS X comes with git in /usr/bin, so you don't really need the brewed Git.

The warning message is mainly targeted at packages that provide libraries that other packages link against. That is not the case for git.
