The bottom line is that excluding Perl and Python support from git will make it only usable for automated shell scripting. Interactive parts require Perl or Python so there is nothing to be gained from breaking POLA for existing users of the git FreeBSD package or git software in general as any random tutorial out there may not work for FreeBSD anymore. For emphasis, this is suboptimal at best... Cheers, Franco=
