...and the first one I came across wasn't listed (git), I looked at
it's .INSTALL file and see it's dynamic:

====
post_install() {
  if ! getent group git >/dev/null; then
    groupadd --system git
  fi
  if ! getent passwd git >/dev/null; then
    useradd --system -c 'git daemon user' -g git -d / -s /bin/bash git
  fi
}

So there are core/extra/community packages using the system dynamic
method which is probably what you should do as well, since everyone's
'git' UID/GID are most likely different. :( Makes it hard if you need
to align across a cluster/shared filesystem, though.
