[Nix-dev] What do you think about an extra git attribute ?

What do you think about

all-packages.nix:

git = import ../applications/version-management/git;

where ../applications/version-management/git:
{
  git = <derivation>
  gitGit = <derivation>
  qgit = <derivation>
  stgit = <derivation>
  gitTestMergeScript = <derivation>
}

?

It would keep all-packages cleaner and if you look for git support
within nix you find the packages faster?

Drawback:
You need to install using
-A git.git
-A git.gitGit
etc ?
