More specifically, the parts that are perl scripts:
/usr/bin/git-cvsserver
/usr/lib/git-core/git-add--interactive
/usr/lib/git-core/git-archimport
/usr/lib/git-core/git-cvsexportcommit
/usr/lib/git-core/git-cvsimport
/usr/lib/git-core/git-cvsserver
/usr/lib/git-core/git-difftool
/usr/lib/git-core/git-instaweb
/usr/lib/git-core/git-relink
/usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email
/usr/lib/git-core/git-svn
Of these, "git-add--interactive" is the only one which has reasonable
use not related to legacy systems (and actually one of Git's best
features). (difftool, instaweb and relink are nice additions, but by no
means essential. send-email probably can be replaced by using straight
MTA injection.)
I think moving to Git is a good idea.
