[Mun] Yes.
As it turns out, I was able to get the missing RPMs onto our server.  I reran the build commands and I was able to successfully build 'git' and the documentation.  Oddly, I still got the same "fatal:" messages in the output of 'make'--but apparently the issue was not truly fatal (thankfully).
Now I will move on to migrating our SVN repo to git (but apparently I am missing some Perl modules).
I want to thank all of you for being so helpful!
Best regards,
