I don't agree. The chance of running git-archimport and not having arch installed is significantly less likely than the chance of not noticing that the git-archimport program exists because it was moved into a separate package that you didn't know you needed to install in the first place.

The main reason I see for splitting cvs and email import out is the non-standard dependencies, cvsps and perl(Email::Valid). While for svn import it's to keep from requiring subversion-perl of everone who installs git-core. This dependency is added automatically, so you cannot easily just ignore it like you can in the arch/tla case.

There is no need for a separate documentation RPM, since the documentation is marked as such and rpm has a standard way to avoid installing them (--excludedocs).
