If you run into a dependency issue with perl-Git, check and make sure that perl is not entered into the excludes in /etc/yum.conf. Now one issue with simply pulling from the basic repo is that the version may not be as up to date as possible. On my server I pulled down version 1.7.1, however the latest stable version of git is 1.8.2. You may be able to find much more up to date versions in the EPEL repo or RPMForge. You can also install the latest available version straight from source:
