Description
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.
