The biggest problem being that on macs it is typical to have two copies of perl installed (/usr/bin/perl and /opt/local/bin/perl with DarwinPorts or otherwise). It'd be nice to have a way to tell git makefiles to put #!/usr/bin/env perl at the top so it just pulls what is first in the path rather than having to hardcode it to either /opt/local/bin/perl or /usr/bin/perl. Say you are packaging a mac os x package of git. Now for the user to run something like git-svn they'd need the svn bindings obviously, but of course, some people install them against their system perl, lots of people install them against their darwinports or otherwise, and it'd be really nice to just have those various perl scripts use whatever the person has set up (going by what they have first in their path). - Andy -- Andrew Ruder <andy@xxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.aeruder.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
