For Fedora Atomic, we're aiming for a quite small runtime system by default. Git is a very useful tool to have on the host by default (e.g. to download Dockerfiles maintained in git), but the Perl dependency is large. OpenEmbedded splits them into a separate -perltools package: https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/blob/master/meta/recipes-devtools/git/git.inc
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
For later reference, https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-June/211077.html is the thread Petr brought to the devel list on this subject (thanks Petr ;).
It's split according to solution in thread mentioned above: - added subpackage 'git-core' which isn't dependent on Perl - git package requires 'git-core' and together with 'git-core' keeps same toolset and functionality as F22. I did some testing and it seems good, however it should be tested better. I didn't build it yet in repository because I expect that descriptions contain mistakes or can be formulated better. Can you someone check it and send patch or fix it directly? May documentation would be separated too for git-core.
There were many duplicit files in error. So it's fixed now and documentation with core man pages are moved to subpackage git-core-doc. Both subpackages are required by main git package. If you find any troubles connected to these splits/changes, feel free to reopen it.
