There is
ifndef NO_GETTEXT
all:: $(MOFILES)
endif
which attempts to avoid generating *.mo files, but that does not
seem to be working.

Shouldn't this point at an installed location (iow, we do not build
curl from the source while building Git)?
# Define CURLDIR=/foo/bar if your curl header and library files are in
# /foo/bar/include and /foo/bar/lib directories.

This is probably because you are trying to run without installing?
Ask the "git" you built what its --exec-path is, and run "ls" on
that directory to see if you have git-remote-https installed?
Trying a freshly built Git binaries without installing is done by
setting GIT_EXEC_PATH to point at bin-wrappers/ directory at the
top-level of your build tree (that is how our tests can run on an
otherwise virgin box with no Git installed).
