Not necessarily. I know people have disagreed with this in the past, but I have
looked at this again and it seems that not all distros require Perl with a Git
install. For example Fedora "git-core" only requires:

    Requires:       less
    Requires:       openssh-clients
    Requires:       zlib >= 1.2

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/git/sources/spec

Some notable scripts would not work, like "git add --interactive", but Cygwin
could have a "git" and "git-core" to deal with that. Personally I have installed
Git without Perl for some years without issue.
