ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" USE="-test" emerge -avt git still runs tests as part of compile step. which takes very long which is very annoying especially considering how fat git itself is, installing git in gentoo is so long it almost seems to negate speed benefit of git itself. (sorry for the rant) on an unrelated note, git +subversion requires subversion +perl and git +perl, ebuild is not aware of the latter. Reproducible: Always

That's what FEATURES=-test does. If that doesn't work, attach the output of `emerge --info' as well as a full build log (FEATURES=noclean preserves it after a successful merge) > > on an unrelated note, git +subversion requires subversion +perl and git +perl, > ebuild is not aware of the latter. > That is a different issue for which you should file an own bug.
Doh I was blind, I had 2 FEATURES= stanzas in make.conf ;-(
