At $DAYJOB, we build and ship Git with our software, which runs on RHEL 6 and 7. I'd have to check to be certain, but I'm pretty sure the dependencies for core Git are the same as Red Hat's version. We choose to compile with PCRE because it enables git grep -P, which we use in development. If you want git-svn, you'll of course need subversion.
In case you do move back to RHEL 5 (which I don't recommend), be aware that the libcurl version is old enough that some features (DAV is one, if I remember correctly) don't work.
