Description:   Opened: 2008-09-19 16:59 0000 
When emerging git with USE="subversion -perl", what happens is that subversion
is not a dependency, but

  built_with_use dev-util/subversion perl

is called in pkg_postinst(), resulting in an error if subversion is not
installed.

With USE="subversion -perl", the most reasonable action would be to error
immediately,
informing the user that USE=perl needs to be specified as well. It's
non-obvious that
git-svn requires perl after all (from a user's perspective).
