Description Stepan Kasal 2008-06-02 15:39:07 UTC

I was trapped today by the misdesign of curl command, see bug #449369.
So I'd like to remove curl (not libcurl) from my machine.

I cannot co that, because git requires it.  But it seems that git calls curl
only in two places: git-clone.sh and git-ls-remote.sh.  Couldn't these two be
rewritten so that libcurl would be enough for the whole git.

Yeah, this is an enhancement request and I'm not providing the patch (yet), sorry.

Additional info:
I mentioned the problem on the git list, and was assured that the last occurence
of "curl" command has been removed:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/83640

Consequently, when git-1.5.6 is released and accepted to Fedora, we can drop
"Require: curl" and perhaps replace "BuildReuire: curl-devel" by "BuildRequire:
libcurl-devel".

Fixed in git-1.6.0.3-1
