#45502: git: Create -perl variant for a Perl-free install
--------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  verwymeren@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports         |    Version:  2.3.2
 Keywords:                |       Port:  git
--------------------------+--------------------------------
 git currently forces installation of the MacPorts perl port. Examining the
 git Makefile, it is possible to install git without Perl by defining
 NO_PERL (https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Makefile Line 248).

 Would it be possible to add a variant that eliminates the Perl dependency?
 The perl port pulls in a lot of additional dependencies, eliminating it
 would allow for a much shorter and smaller git installation.
