Hi, > I have this request on bugzilla [0] for perl-less build of git due to large > dependency on Perl modules, which is unwanted for atomic. There's actually a number of other usecases where having git without pulling in perl would be very useful, it's been on my todo list to investigate but not got to the top yet. > I am not sure that's good idea. > With this change we will create places for error messages about missing perl > modules and that's something what we don't want. > > E.g. missing git-add--interactive will bring one unusable option which will > cause error message like this.

I think git add should be in the base package so splitting out --interactive would be useful. Could we work with upstream to get "git-add--interactive" re-implemented in the language that the rest of core git is implemented in so we don't have to drop the functionality while removing the base dep on perl? > I don't know if git-add--interactive is single weak place of this split or > there are others yet, but it is only one which I see know. I think it would be useful to do a review to work out exactly what functionality is lost by moving the perl deps to a subpackage. > Can you give me some opinions about this?
