Description (last modified by larryv (Lawrence Velázquez))
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/v2.1.2/Makefile#L248).
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.

How would this even work? Isn’t half of Git written in Perl?
