Did I miss something?  Was this patch not more about Git.pm?

BTW I think it is not nice at all how the dependency hell with Git.pm is 
made worse recently.

It is fascinating through how much _pain_ we go with the shell scripts to 
maintain portability, even with _very_ old or obscure systems (see the SCO 
server patches that came in not long ago!), and just walk over that 
portability when it comes to Perl...

Ciao,
