Before I go and submit a bug, I would like to ask why git requires
that i install so many dependencies?
Because git is not git, git is a metapackage.
Welcome to metapackage hell.
+1, I believe this actally is a bug, almost no other package has this, most
other packages have:
foo (which contains the core_
foo-addon1
foo-addon2
etc. and then if you really want all you can just do:
yum install 'foo*'
Can we please stop this meta package bs, it hit me too with git, and I do not
consider myself a novice when I say:
"yum install git"
I mean:
"yum install git"
and not
"yum install git and anything vaguely git related including an fscking emacs
add-on which drags in a whopping XX MB of emacs"

Hans (who is seriously annoyed by this)
