Description Mira Ressel 2014-06-01 21:13:53 UTC

Starting with dev-vcs/git-2.0.0, the "optional-cvs" patch introduces an error into the git Makefile which renders git's perl scripts (e.g. git add --interactive) unusable, even though USE=perl is set. They only emit a message like
"fatal: git was built without support for git-add--interactive (NO_PERL=).usable, even though USE=perl is set."

I haven't examined the mentioned patch closely, but a quick look suggests this might be because of the removal of "else # NO_PERL" in line 92 of the patch file.
