Unfortunately, this is wrong assumption. It comes quite natural that if
I want to use git command, I can do "dnf install /usr/bin/git" and I
don't care which package ships this command. And this scenario is broken
now, since this will not install "full" git I expect.
And as it turns out, it breaks also Ruby build [1], since it uses
"BuildRequires: %{_bindir}/git", but the test suite later call "git
submodule" command, which is not available anymore due to this split.
I am wondering if there is some way out, for example git packages could
have virtual provides such as git(add), git(submodule), git(rm),
git(commit) and my package could then depend on the specific virtual
provides, but I am not sure it is worth of the effort.
