I'd love for every single shell-script in git core to be written in
C, so that we can drop the dependency on shell *entirely*.
What about the test suite?
The test suite is indeed special. But I think that's a "build
requiement", and if we require something like shell for *building*,
that's different from requiring normal users to have it.
And do not forget that "make install" is not _part_ of "make install". If
you do not want to check that all is fine, but trust the other
suc^Wdevelopers, you can just omit running the tests.
