Yes, I DO get it, but, unfortunately, you don't. Having an 'X' version of
something as fundamental as a version control system is just plain dumb.
That has nothing to do with flavors! What if CVS required X? I doubt it
would be in the tree for more than 30 seconds, if it got committed at all.
As the maintainer explained some time ago, there has been a no-X11 version
of GIT since April, so the question is, really, why that isn't the
package. Good suggestion, I think you would agree.
In any case, it's in the maintainer's hands, as he has control. The point
of the discussion was to suggest that the no-X11 version BE the default
package, and I think that point has been made.
