perl and the standard coreutils, which afaik are required to be present
on all unix systems.
That's not all. sed and grep is also used. There may be some others hidden
deep in git and it would be good to have that docummented (I've hit the
problem already with missing some tool when preparing chroot for git).
sed and grep are, along with awk, part of the tools that are required to
be present on all unix systems. Sorry for the confusion with coreutils
(the package / software project).
When you set up a chroot environment, you want to at least copy /bin,
/lib and /sbin to the new root and then remove whatever you *know* you
don't need from them. Those directories should hold all programs the
system needs to properly boot up.
We no longer require external merge tools.
Starting from which version?
Latest only. It was added 2006-12-06 and the dependency on external
merge program was removed in a commit created 2006-12-13. Junio merged
the merge-code into master one hour later. It is not in the maint
branch, so I don't know if any distributions ship git with the new
xdl_merge() thing. It's *very* good though. Kudos to Johannes Schindelin
for really making things right.
