I think that gitdir is a very good idea, but needs further testing.

This looks nice. I'd like also to have some kind of --pretty=<format>
(or --format=<format>) for git-describe, and a way to limit both
git-name-rev and git-describe to only *signed* commits.

With this it would be fairly easy in generating git.spec file
from git.spec.in to check if we are on tagged release and use
pre-compiled manpages if it is the case. Although perhaps option
(default?) to use pre-compiled manpages (even if they are outdated
a bit) instead of requiring asciidoc toolchain would be better;
this would make SRPM size larger, as it would contain manpages.

Perhaps we should first generate libexecdir separate from bindir,
and put helper scripts there (the *--* scripts), to not pollute
PATH with commands which are never meant to be called directly
by user.

I'd rather below get implemented, so there isn't any guessing
involved.

What are the plans on git-clone builtinification (and cleaning up
clone progress and error messages[*1*])?
