Doing the following in the git repo: $ grep -r cpio * git-clone.sh: find objects -depth -print | cpio -pumd$l "$GIT_DIR/" || exit 1 git-merge.sh: cpio -0 -o >"$GIT_DIR/MERGE_SAVE" git-merge.sh: cpio -iuv <"$GIT_DIR/MERGE_SAVE"
reveals that cpio is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation, nor in the requirements section of the INSTALL file.
