It can be useful to use git on target (e.g. with some wrapper like
etckeeper for keeping track of changes to /etc), and for such cases,
it is likely one has no need for pulling from/pushing to http[s]
repositories. From the INSTALL file:
- "libcurl" library ... If you do not use http:// or https://
repositories, and do not want to put patches into an IMAP
mailbox, you do not have to have them (use NO_CURL).
- "expat" library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock
management over DAV. Similar to "curl" above, this is
optional (with NO_EXPAT).
Setting --without-expat and --without-curl reduces the size of the
installed "git" package from 18M to 12M, in addition to avoiding
pulling those libraries into the rootfs.

An automated conversion using scripts/contrib/convert-spdx-licenses.py to
convert to use the standard SPDX license identifiers. Two recipes in meta-selftest
were not converted as they're that way specifically for testing. A change in
linux-firmware was also skipped and may need a more manual tweak.
