That sounds sensible.  Also I think not having to install xlib
on the repository server is an advantage as you said in your
reply to Linus.

So here is a revised strawman, just to keep things in one place:

git::
	Depends on all of the below (may not be necessary).

git-*-glue::
	Tools to interoperate with foreign SCM systems,
	including importing (i.e. obtaining changes from them)
	and exporting (i.e. injecting our changes into them).

git-doc::
	Generated documentation from Documentation hierarchy.

git-scm::
	Depends on git-gitk and git-core -- people who want just
	a self contained SCM can install this and perhaps
	git-doc.

git-gitk::
	The gitk history browser.

git-core::
	The rest.  Meant for repository server installation.
