git perl-less build?

Hi folks,

I have this request on bugzilla [0] for perl-less build of git due to 
large dependency on Perl modules, which is unwanted for atomic.

I am not sure that's good idea.
With this change we will create places for error messages about missing 
perl modules and that's something what we don't want.

E.g. missing git-add--interactive will bring one unusable option which 
will cause error message like this. I have two other bugs where I solve 
similar troubles. Separate whole git-add doesn't make sense. So if this 
is good trade off approved by others, OK, we can do that, with notice 
that some error messages can appear.

I don't know if git-add--interactive is single weak place of this split 
or there are others yet, but it is only one which I see know.

Can you give me some opinions about this? If it's OK, it can be done for 
F23.
