Created attachment 7601

Test config from Y Morin.

When I build a config with git enabled with 2018.05-rc2 the git binaries in
/usr/libexec/git-core are over 180MB.  When I build the same config with
2018.02.2 (and all other stable versions I have used over the last few years)
the binaries are ~20MB or less.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Check out 2018.02.2 from git repo
2. Build the attached config.
3. Examine the git-core folder in the image tar file.
4. Check out 2018.05-rc2 from git repo
5. Build the attached config.
6. Examine the git-core folder in the image tar file.

My build system is openSUSE Leap 42.3 fully patched.
