Over here - using a non-standard ELDK/LFS mixture, git depends at least on:
zlib ()
libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.14.0.tar.bz2)
openssl ()
diff ()
diffstat (ftp://invisible-island.net/diffstat/diffstat-1.39.tgz)
which (http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/which/which-2.16.tar.gz)
rsync (http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.5.tar.gz)
perl ()

() -> ask Google.
The versions given in brackets seem to work fine for me. - YMMV

Greets,
