Hah, I think I walked right over this issue without even knowing that it
existed.

The backstory is that I was running the 't/perf' suite to test a merge
from upstream into GitHub's fork, which we build with 'NO_PERL'. This
*should* have failed, except for the fact that I had a leftover 'Git.pm'
laying around, which made everything go smoothly, even though I only got
lucky.

So, I think that this is a strict improvement for that case of "I want
to run t/perf" with "I built with 'NO_PERL' for xyz reason". Makes sense
to me (and thanks for addressing a problem that I didn't even know I had
;-).)

That seems reasonable, but I'm deferring entirely to your Perl
expertise here, since I'm not myself familiar.

The rationale makes sense to me, so please have my:

  Reviewed-by: Taylor Blau <me@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

but do take it with a grain of salt, since your Perl skills are
certainly superior to mine.


Thanks,
Taylor
