Description Guillaume Rousse 2017-01-04 22:54:51 CET 
The current set of dependencies force installation of subversion when installing git:
1) git-core depends on perl(Git)
2) perl-Git depends on perl(SVN)
3) perl-SVN depends on subversion

One of those mandatory dependencies should probably get turned into a soft dependency.

Comment 1 Jani Välimaa 2017-01-05 17:25:55 CET 
Maybe we should split out perl(Git::SVN) and co from perl(Git) pkg.
Comment 2 Jani Välimaa 2017-01-05 19:44:14 CET 
And I splitted out perl-Git-SVN from perl-Git. New git pkgs should be available in mirrors anytime soon.
