I would like to suggest including "git" in FC. Why in the
Core?
Because in addition to its uses as an SCM, it's also really useful for
managing user configurables since it's an SCM that handles sparse trees
just fine. Thus, one can have a ~/.git directory and check in the files
one wants to have under control. However, for this to be useful, git
really needs to be available by default in as many places as possible.
That still doesn't really mandate it being in Core -- it wouldn't be
appropriate for the default install, and our default yum configuration
makes it trivial to install Extras packages.
Either way, the path for inclusion starts with somebody stepping up to
maintain git/cogito packages in Extras.
