Doing the following in the git repo:
$ grep -r cpio *
git-clone.sh:           find objects -depth -print | cpio -pumd$l "$GIT_DIR/" || exit 1
git-merge.sh:   cpio -0 -o >"$GIT_DIR/MERGE_SAVE"
git-merge.sh:           cpio -iuv <"$GIT_DIR/MERGE_SAVE"

reveals that cpio is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation,
nor in the requirements section of the INSTALL file.


Have fun!
