What about adopting something similar to what has been done for the R package, There is R-core, R-java R-devel and R. If you yum/dnf install R you get all of them and you can install either one independently. So in this case, we could have git-core, git-perl, git-foo and yum/dnf install git would provides the full experience, while the atomic folks rely on git-core instead. Would this work?
