It's better than to have conflicting packages (perl-Git and perl-Error). The build requirement can be relaxed if needed (either by finding and removing Error* after the install or by adding another flag to Makefile.PL), but I think it's logical to have it because perl-Error would be needed by git-core anyway.
Another solution would be to arrange Error.pm to be installed and used as Git::Error, but that would be a case of code duplication.
