Sure, it is possible to do this, and most of git would still work. You
would lose:
- gitweb
- interactive add ("git add -i")
- send-email
- CVS/SVN/arch integration (cvsimport, cvsserver, cvsexportcommit,
svn, archimport)
- git-relink (which I'm not sure is commonly used anyway)
The test scripts also use perl a bit, so you would lose the ability to
run the tests.
The right way would probably be to add a NO_PERL flag to the Makefile to
avoid building these programs. I'm not sure anyone else cares enough to
spend time on this themselves, but you might try working up a patch.
