The "modular" setup is a good thing to do, but I do not know how it relates to the change Ilari did. Isn't it simply a matter of excluding git-remote-curl from the current set of binaries to be shipped with git-core.rpm and making a separate git-remote-http.rpm to contain it, or does it involve a lot more than that from the packager's side?
