I am asking as an RPM illiterate, not questioning the validity
of what your patch does.
The approach your patch takes feels like the right way we should
have taken from the beginning. Does this supersede the "fix" in
5587cac28be66acf5edc2a4b83b67c8cfffbc5e9 (GIT 1.5.3.1: obsolete
git-p4 in RPM spec file)? IOW, if we had Requires for the same
version from the beginning, we wouldn't have had the problem
when we dropped git-p4 package?
