Not necessarily. I know people have disagreed with this in the past, but I have looked at this again and it seems that not all distros require Perl with a Git install. For example Fedora "git-core" only requires: Requires: less Requires: openssh-clients Requires: zlib >= 1.2 https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/git/sources/spec Some notable scripts would not work, like "git add --interactive", but Cygwin could have a "git" and "git-core" to deal with that. Personally I have installed Git without Perl for some years without issue. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
