2008-09-16 10:44:36 Alexander Sack git-core: statusexplanation When building git from source, its configure script checks for the presence of curl on the system being built and configures git-clone (and other git commands) to avoid using curl if curl is unavailable. (see, e.g., git-clone.sh:359 from the source which reads: if test -z "@@NO_CURL@@" then clone_dumb_http "$repo" "$D" else die "http transport not supported, rebuild Git with curl support" fi In the current Ubuntu package (1:1.5.4.3-1ubuntu1), that line reads if test -z "", presumably b/c the package was built on a system with curl installed. Run-time detection seems out (transport.c also has curl-optional components) so perhaps, like gitk, all the binaries/scripts that require curl support can be split out into a separate package. git-clone-curl and git-clone-nocurl could be, for example, selected between via alternatives. git-core depends on libcurl-gnutls and doesnt recommend curl at all. Thus, I assume that this bug is now fixed. If you dont think so, please reopen.
