Bug ID: 290756
Summary: devel/git-delta has unnecessary dependency on git
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: dtxdf@freebsd.org
Reporter: vivek@khera.org

Flags: maintainer-feedback?(dtxdf@freebsd.org)
The git-delta program is just a terminal based diff viewer. As such, it does
not have any dependency on git itself other than the name.
By having a dependency on git, it precludes installing this nice diff viewer on
systems which have git@lite variant installed, for example.
For reference: the official cargo build dependency list does not include git:
https://crates.io/crates/git-delta/0.18.2/dependencies
The Mac Homebrew package of this also has no dependency on git.
Please remove the dependency on git for this port. Thanks.
