Bug#1067213: git: please consider temporarily disabling subversion/libsvn-perl build-dependencies on armhf and armel

[Emanuele Rocca <ema@debian.org>]

Severity: wishlist

Hi,

on armhf and armel both subversion and libsvn-perl are currently not
installable due to the ongoing 64-bit time_t transition. It seems
however that git builds fine without those, and the build dependencies
are just needed for the git-svn selftests.

The attached patch drops the build dependencies on armhf and armel, and
could of course be reverted once subversion and libsvn-perl are
installable again on the affected architectures.

Thanks,
  Emanuele
