Just installed git using the following instructions:

1. Install EPEL V5
   #rpm -Uvh http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

2. Install Git
   # yum install git git-daemon

3. Check
   # git --version
git version 1.8.2.3

4. Optionally install Git GUI
   # yum install git-gui

For i386 substitute x86_64 by i386 in the URL at step #1.

#rpm -Uvh http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
