I'm really keen to see this come off as I think pretty much everyone
is and look forward to the day when we all bid cvs goodbye. Would it
not be saner to extend git through a plugin to provide fedora-specific
stuff rather than use a new, separate command like fedpkg? Might help
the migration if people understand that they are essentially using git
with a few fedora options instead.

Just a thought.
