Thanks.
The files that are problematic are only infrastructure bits to support
"remote helpers written in Python" (which we don't ship at all yet).
Once we start shipping real remote helpers, separating Python bits out
into its own package would make a lot of sense. People who want to use
foreign scm helpers that happen to be written in Python would need it, and
all others don't.
But I suspect that a safer alternative at least for 1.7.0 would be to
leave these files out altogether. As I understand the current state, it
is an unused but required package dependency on Python, a downside without
an upside. Is it Ok with "remote helpers in Python" folks (I think Sverre
and Johan are principal parties), or did I miss some reason that these
need to be installed/installable, perhaps to support third party packages
that already exist?
And if the removal is the way to go for 1.7.0, is the following an Ok
approach to do that removal (this is asking an RPM help again to Todd)?
