Back in July, there had been discussion as to whether Git needed to be a

From discussion, it appeared that Git could be removed as a dependency.

The latest listed version of gettext-devel is 0.22.5-1 from 2024-10-06.

Is anything additional needed before a new gettext-devel package that removes
the Git dependency can be released?
We have always skipped building textstyle, but the latest release requires
textstyle be used in all tools even building --without-textstyle, the gcc format
warning options used for those conflict, and I have not yet found a workaround
to skip those options.
