I'm not sure where uname is needed; we'd have to check. util-linux is
where most of the weigh increase is at. 'git submodule' is part of
git-minimal; it should work without external tools, ideally.
References are also found in bin/git in your search, which suggests
perhaps the size of git-minimal is a "lie" (the core package is not
fully functional).
