- expat library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock
management over DAV. Similar to "curl" above, this is optional.

- "GNU diff" to generate patches. Of course, you don't _have_ to
generate patches if you don't want to, but let's face it, you'll
be wanting to. Or why did you get git in the first place?

Non-GNU versions of the diff/patch programs don't generally support
the unified patch format (which is the one git uses), so you
really do want to get the GNU one. Trust me, you will want to
do that even if it wasn't for git. There's no point in living
in the dark ages any more.
