Isn't a POSIX shell enough for the core?  I only have mksh at hand
as an alternative right now, but that looks good (on my old box
i think that was /bin/sh, too):

  ?0[sdaoden@wales git.git-no_reduce]$ for i in *.sh; do mksh -n $i;done
  ?0[sdaoden@wales git.git-no_reduce]$

 |- perl5

That seems to have been a temporary oops from a Mr. Eric Sunshine
who messed up git(1) circa at the end of June; i've ran into this,
but someone else just did one or two days before me (in august?),
so this really was the replacement of a working sh/sed/awk thing
with the same in perl, blowing the NO_PERL configuration option
for two months (and multiple releases).

The shown git reference is really nice and really, really nice to
look at; i've thrown away my progit chapters 6 and 9 (or so).
