qgit -> git -> libgnome_keyring
...like this one, for instance. libgnome-keyring's dependencies are pretty modest:
As I found in git.spec - git's gnome-keyring suff is optional. Is it possible to move them into separate package (for gnome users)?

This doesn't sound too unreasonable at first (and wasn't hard to do; I tested it locally).

I am not convinced that it's worth the effort, though. All the dependencies of libgnome-keyring are included in the minimal install. So what would be the gain? (Splitting the package only to avoid pulling in something with gnome in the name isn't enough. ;)

The cost would be causing users who want to use the git gnome credential helper to install an additional package.

If this wasn't already in place, I'd probably be more inclined to add it as a subpackage from the start. But now that it's included, I'm not as sure that the costs are outweighed by any benefits.

I could be completely wrong, of course.

The problem is that Fedora is too Gnome distro.
And instead of as Gnome/GTK spin builder as non-G* ones have clean system and add required packages - G* users are happy but non-G* must to pick out gtk/gnome from _clean_ system.
My aim is to create pure Qt4 spin (similar to pure KDE one).
As you can see - this task is not trivial. In contrast with pure GTK or Gnome.
But - no pasaran!
