Cases 2, 3 and 4 seem to apply, IMHO.

I also think that since git is a command-line tool, it doesn't neatly align
itself with being installable via GNOME Software, either.

I see four possible approaches (from easiest to hardest):
1) Do nothing; git is installed by 'dnf' unless it's pulled in by something else.
2) Install git by default.
3) Locate or develop a useful git GUI tool (or Nautilus integration?) and
promote that as an application or plugin through GNOME Software
4) Package up and promote a series of promoted Developer Suites that include it.
(I'm thinking things like the equivalent of Microsoft Visual Studio or Apple
Xcode; a complete set of tools and an IDE powering them).

Personally, I'd love to see 4) selected and worked on as a medium-to-long-term
goal in the Workstation SIG, ideally aligned with the Modularity work (with an
eye on building a comprehensive suite of tools that would be installed together
as a module).
Design Suite is using Sparkleshare which include access to git repository for Design team.  I wonder if there is an equivalent in Fedora repository. Nautilus integration from case #3 seems interesting because of easier workflow similar to the like of Dropbox, Google Drive and Owncloud.
