FWIW, the difference according to dnf info is git-core is about 17 MB
on disk, while git adds:

* itself (2.2 MB on disk)
* git-core-doc (11+ MB on disk)
* 3 Perl modules (~150 KB on disk)

Perl is already present, so there's not a huge dep stack coming in
when I install 'git' on F24 Beta, just three modules.

The discussion in IRC seems to indicate we're not as worried about
bloat as we are about providing useful tooling out of the box.

I'll file a pull request for comps for this since we have the votes.
