I'm trying to build Git (2.6.4) on GNU/Linux, but without any
requirements (other than basic libc etc.) on the local system. This
works fine except for one thing: git-remote-https.
In order to build this I need to have libcurl, but libcurl is a MONSTER
library with an enormous number of prerequisites (see below).
Just wondering if anyone has considered an alternative to libcurl; maybe
I'm wrong but it seems to me that HTTPS support for Git would require
only a tiny fraction of the libcurl features and maybe there's an
alternative available which would be more targeted?
I realize this is not a short-term thing in that there won't be an API
compatible library that can just be dropped in. This is more a forward
-looking question. For now I'm looking to see if I can rebuild libcurl
myself without most of these dependencies such as Kerberos, LDAP, etc.
