[ATN: git maintainer] Git package depends on python


It looks like the git package installs python as a dependency. It
causes problems if you need a different win python runtime for your
projects.


Also, git doesn't seem to use python. I un-install python via setup
and git continues to work fine (at least for my typical usage). Nor
can I find any python files in the git package.


Seems a heavyweight dependency, and it doesn't seem to be used. Why is it there?


$ cygcheck.exe -fv /usr/bin/git
/usr/bin/git: found in package git-2.8.0-1


$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 2.5.1(0.297/5/3) 2016-04-21 22:14 x86_64 Cygwin
