            Bug ID: 196066
           Summary: Add devel/git-lite as light-weight version of
                    devel/git without any bindings
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: wxs at FreeBSD.org

I run a pkg-only version of FreeBSD 10 as a jail-host. Some custom software on
the host needs to be fetched via git, though. Installing devel/git leads to a
bunch of Perl and Python dependencies, that are unnecessary for a minimal git
that just fetches some software.

I propose a -lite version of the devel/git package, much in the same way as
other packages do (e.g. vim). The new package has minimal dependencies and can
be used as pure git client.

Let me know what you think of the idea.
