   1 Subject: [PATCH] run-command.c: unset troublesome PERL env vars
   2
   3 Unset troublesome PERL environment variables before exec'ing
   4 a sub-process.  In particular, PERL5LIB, PERLLIB, PERL5OPT and
   5 PERLIO are unset.  This avoids, for example, having a PERL5LIB
   6 variable set to libraries that would override and be incompatible
   7 with the version of Perl the Git perl-based utilities were built
   8 to use.
   9
  10 But don't do this if we're running the git svn subcommand as it
  11 uses the perl found in the current PATH rather than the compile-
  12 time perl.
