Or switch to depend on `%{_bindir}/git`?
If we do it like this, we will never be able drop repo download times for Fedora users.
Files in %{_bindir} already end up in the primary metadata, don't they? Is this about removing them? They are just 36,217 lines out of 2,253,333, or something like that. They also should compress well (better than all those hashes), so I don't see how they would impact metadata download times.
Thanks, Florian
