12:44 <sajcho> Maintainers: Just a suggestion. When INSTALL SYMLINKS=Yes is added to the git port configuration, the package shrinks considerably. It's just a suggestion.

12:48 <beerman> what do you mean exactly? for opt/git as a port?

12:52 <sajcho> Yes.

12:55 <farkuhar_> specifically, line 261 of the git-2.41 Makefile describes the effect of setting INSTALL_SYMLINKS=Yes.

12:56 <beerman> i can check it out later, maybe, no guarantees.

13:05 <farkuhar_> anyway, thanks to sajcho's suggestion I rediscovered the Flyspray task (#1313) where Fun remarks that "Crux is so libertarian." For a few months I was starting to suspect that I had created a false memory, associating Fun's name with a quote I saw somewhere else.

13:43 <farkuhar_> after rebuilding opt/git with sajcho's suggestion, these are the new symlinks that show up in the footprint: http://sprunge.us/LgmE5l
