I just tried 'make rpm' and it died with:

|rpmbuild -ta git-1.5.0.rc2.tar.gz
|error: Failed build dependencies:
|        perl(Error) is needed by git-1.5.0.rc2-1.i386

Of course I have perl installed.  But what is that "perl(Error)" about?

You don't have Error.pm perl module (in perl-Error package in Fedora Core). Git distributes it's own copy, but I guess rpm target requires to have it installed rather than provide it ourself.

If you really have your own copy, you can use Provides: perl(Error) or something similar.

That's true, but I do not think we would want to officially "Provide" it. We ship a copy only as a back-up measure for people building from the source, as Error.pm seems not so widely deployed.
