A simple fix is of course:
-> diff -u git-core.spec.in.ORIG git-core.spec.in

But the resulting RPM cannot be installed either, at least not in
standard Fedora Core 2/3/4 installations:
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(Email::Valid) is needed by git-core-0.99.3-1
perl(Mail::Sendmail) is needed by git-core-0.99.3-1
Seems git is depending on more and more stuff which is not available
in standard distros. This makes it not easier for new users...
Is there at least some documentation which external packages are
needed, and where to find these?
Best regards,
