Hey list,
Before I go and submit a bug, I would like to ask why git requires
that i install so many dependencies? Apparently, to manage files, git
requires no less than CVS, Subversion, emacs-common and emacs-git, and
tk. Below is a log from yum. I'm not complaining too much as I will
need these tools too, but it strikes me as very odd that git requires
that I have not only a working kitchen sink, but a dishwasher, and
servants to load it every day.
git is a metapackage that wraps all the various sub-packages that git
has.
If you really only want the core stuff, do this:
yum install git-core
It will bring in some perl deps that are needed, but not nearly as much
as what you're seeing now.
This is not a bug. Please don't file one.
