I think Todd made a good case for making this part of the core git rpm. Ian's patch would be more suited for inclusion in this case. The remaining question is whether to stick it in /etc/bash_completion.d or in /usr/share/bash_completion.d (the triggers vs direct bit).

The closer the core spec file is to the one that distro's use, the better. This is a reciprocal benefit, I think.

I'm still interested in Todd's (and anyone else') thoughts about adding the git-daemon, etc, sub-packages as part of the stock spec file. Are they too distro specific for inclusion? (eg: which user should run git-daemon[1]? default repo/cgi location for gitweb?)

Thanks -Ben

[1] The fedora spec sees git-daemon run as 'nobody' but imho, this isn't
    a good choice.  A separate 'git' user would be my preference.
