Details

Description:

git should provide the mediawiki remote, like in:

```clone
$ git clone -c remote.origin.shallow=true -c remote.origin.pages='Pacman' mediawiki::https://wiki.archlinux.org wiki
Cloning into 'wiki'...
Searching revisions...
No previous mediawiki revision found, fetching from beginning.
Fetching & writing export data by pages...
Listing pages on remote wiki...
1 pages found.
page 1/1: Pacman
Found 1 revision (shallow import).
1/1: Revision #246189 of Pacman
Searching revisions...
No previous mediawiki revision found, fetching from beginning.

1 pages found.
page 1/1: Pacman
Found 1 revision (shallow import).
1/1: Revision #246189 of Pacman
Checking connectivity... done.
```

Additional info:
* package version(s)

Name : git
Version : 2.9.0-1

* config and/or log files etc.

following files aren't needed (and they come with the git package - I think it shouldn't):
```

extra/git /usr/share/git/mw-to-git/t/test-gitmw.pl
extra/git /usr/share/git/mw-to-git/t/test.config
```

it should be enough to add the remote

on debian:
```
$ sudo apt-file list git-mediawiki
git-mediawiki: /usr/lib/git-core/git-mw
git-mediawiki: /usr/lib/git-core/git-remote-mediawiki
git-mediawiki: /usr/share/doc/git-mediawiki/changelog.Debian.gz
git-mediawiki: /usr/share/doc/git-mediawiki/copyright
git-mediawiki: /usr/share/doc/git-mediawiki/git-remote-mediawiki.txt
git-mediawiki: /usr/share/perl5/Git/Mediawiki.pm
```

Steps to reproduce:

```
$ pacman -S git
$ git clone -c remote.origin.shallow=true -c remote.origin.pages='Pacman' mediawiki::https://wiki.archlinux.org wiki
Cloning into 'wiki'...
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'mediawiki'
```

I second that request. The only thing necessary should be to add
- `make -C contrib/mw-to-git prefix=/usr all` to the end of build()
- `make -C contrib/mw-to-git prefix=/usr DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install` to [the end of] package()

(Related bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16263 which introduced contrib/ into the git package)
