I don't even know - I don't have a static version of curl. I could install one, of course, but since I don't think that's the solution anyway, I'm not going to bother. The real solution really is to not have curl support in the main binary. One option might be to make _all_ the transport code be outside of the core binary, or course. That's a fairly simple but somewhat sad solution (ie make all of push/pull/fetch/clone/ls-remote/etc be external binaries) Linus
