I understand that i must put some keywords in etc/portage/package.keyword. I
think dev-util/git "gtk iconv
perl -bash-completion -cgi -curl -cvs -doc -emacs -mozsha1
(-ppcsha1) -subversion -threads -tk -webdav -xinetd"


but i am not sure.

1st, do not hijack other threads, please create a new email when you
write to the list instead of using "reply to" method.

2nd, if you want only bare git without fancy utilities, just do echo
"dev-util/git -gtk" >> /etc/portage/package.use; emerge dev-util/git
should work without bringing down all the gtk dependencies.

HTH.
