For majority of general public, I thought the spec file _I_
ship, along with RPM files _I_ build, are contrib status
already.  Don't distro people do their own RPM packages, instead
of using what I placed on k.org?

Assuming that we do not give the old git-p4import script
packaged in "git-p4 package", would the following patch be all
that is needed, or do we need other things in the spec file?
