Removing git dependencies on perl5 and python27

[Michael Gmelin]

Hm, seems like you're right, which is good news for me, I always built
it without perl until this commit:

r396048 | garga | 2015-09-04 00:00:03 +0200 (Fri, 04 Sep 2015) | 5 lines

- Update to 2.5.1
- Fix build with NO_PERL set backporting a commit from git repo
  (82aec45)
- Add git-submodile, git-am and git-request-pull to the list of commands
  that doesn't work without perl

Seems like it was removed again here:

r416890 | garga | 2016-06-14 16:52:40 +0200 (Tue, 14 Jun 2016) | 4 lines

Thanks,
