Hi folks,

Dev has issues with CI conflicts between "native" CI git installed and Cygwin 
git package install with gettext-devel, asking whether and why gettext-devel 
requires git(-archive?) and whether we could drop git from the (manual additions 
to) gettext-devel package install dependencies on Cygwin?

It is undocumented and unclear to me what role 
gettext-tools/misc/convert-archive plays in packaging other packages using 
gettext/-devel, and what is the impact if I package gettext/-devel --without-git?

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis              Calgary, Alberta, Canada
