betelgeuse@host ~ $ git svn clone --stdlayout http://agilefant.googlecode.com/svn agilefant
fatal: git was built without support for git-svn (NO_PERL=YesPlease).

Please update git to EAPI 4 and prevent this from happening.

I personally feel that USE="perl" should not be optional since it enables basic features of git.

  git add -i foo

for example will throw the same error. I've hit other cases, but that one I use on a daily basis.

We cannot make the git ebuilds EAPI4 until python.eclass supports EAPI4.
