That works.  Or if it wasn't a package you planned to work on often,
git send-email can email the changes in a format suitable for git am
to import.

Why is a new version needed?  For simply pushing and pulling changes,
the version provided in EPEL should be fine.  It manages to work well
enough on fedorahosted, which gets a decent amount of use.

Incidentally, if you'd like to see an updated git for EL-5, point
anyone you know that uses emacs-git my way.  AFAIK, the only hang up
to updating EPEL to git-1.7 is working out how to maintain the emacs
support¹.
