Subject: libcurl dependency for implementing RFC3161 timestamps
Message-ID: <59de05c280143e7dd3ead6139df7a525.squirrel@faumail.uni-erlangen.de>

Hello,

for implementing RFC3161 timestamps in git tag, HTTP POST requests have to
be sent via libcurl. We already changed http.c to our needs.

Is there any best-practice how to introduce this libcurl dependency? There
are several options:

-As git tag is a builtin part of the main git executable, introduce a
libcurl dependency for the main executable (maybe not best-practice).

-Move git tag to a separate git-tag binary and introduce a libcurl
dependency to this new submodule.

-Create an own submodule like git-http-timestamp with a libcurl dependency
and call it from git tag and from other places where timestamp signatures
are needed.
