Dependency on git

[jlmagc]

Hello,
I just tried drip on a Solaris server, and it seems it has a dependency on git, since I'm getting an error "drip: line 150: git: command not found". For some reasons I can not install git on my server. Is there any way to remove that dependency?

Not a complete solution, but I hacked my way past the immediate git dependency / breakage by editing the drip shell script:

function make_sha_path {
    opts="$PWD ${jvm_args[*]} $classpath $main_class"
    #sha=$(echo -n "$opts" | git hash-object --stdin) # this is line 150
    sha=$(echo -n "$opts" | sha1sum | awk '{ print $1 }')
    sha_path=$drip_root/$sha
    mkdir -p "$sha_path"
    echo -n "$opts" > $sha_path/opts
}

essentially replacing the hash generated by git with one generated via sha1sum and awk. Assumes you have sha1sum on your system. Replace with your favourite hashing tool capable of producing a unique id from the set of options passed in if you don't have sha1sum installed.
