Ideally for me, git is the right dependency for SDK
<string>Software</strike>Sugar <strike>Development</strike>Doers' Kit
we don't have right now.

Using activity, in current state of .xo format, will mean either bundling
git (sounds weird) or not working in defualt Sugar environment (but making
it working, will mean blowing SP all time w/o the limit).

The right way for me, is adding PackageKit dependency to SP, that might
be used directly (e.g, using PK DBus in the bundler) or indirectly in Sweets
(that might be added to SP as well).
