Why do you say that?

Do you have anybody who actually does, or are you just claiming so?

Some distributions seems to disagree with you. rpm.pbone.net already
implies that SuSE not only has never packaged GNU interactive tools at
all, they're already packaging git-core. Redhat seems to have dropped it
after RH-7.1 according to the same admittedly very nonscientific source
(while rpmfind.net didn't find any RH packages at all).

So..
