Description Alan Hourihane 2006-12-01 09:36:11 UTC 
git needs to depend on dev-perl/DBI because git-cvsserver doesn't work without it.
Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-01 09:39:31 UTC 
Maybe you could re-read the einfo that pkg_postinst provides?
Comment 2 Alan Hourihane 2006-12-01 09:43:29 UTC 
Realistically, I guess it should be a USE option then, rather than installing broken tools. 

You see, I may have imported git quite some time ago, and I've only needed git-cvsserver functionality now, which wouldn't naturally make me go off and read the pkg_postinst stuff.
