You missed

I did see that, I just didn't feel that it was relevant to my point

there is no drop-in alternative

My point was that there could be (and the GPL even wants there to be). Also "Both Forgejo and Git must be used together" could be construed as Git itself requiring Forgejo, which isn't true either.

The fact that forgejo only calls an external git binary is what makes such tools compatible with non-GPL software as well... you just have to be able to substitute the binary for something else, it doesn't matter if that "something else" exists yet or not.

Maybe we just differ on our definitions of "requiring Git".
