git-send-email actually is *not* pulled in by the 'git' package. To get
that, you need to install git-email or git-all.

'git' gives you, among other things, git-am, git-submodule.

This splitiness is not helpful for a developer workstation - to see
some tutorial telling to use git am and then see:

 $ git am foo.patch
 git: 'am' is not a git command. See 'git --help'

We definitely shouldn't go less than 'git', 'git-all' might be a bit
much though, with the cvs/svn/tk, dependencies.
