Despite there is incompatibility between updated file and rpmbuild,
which could be fixed probably on rpmbuild side to scan modules and scripts
for requires, the basic problem is git.spec uses old, obsoleted,
and broken manual generators:

# Filter bogus perl requires
# packed-refs comes from a comment in contrib/hooks/update-paranoid
# YAML::Any is optional and not available on el5
cat << \EOF > %{name}-req
#!/bin/sh
%{__perl_requires} $* |\
sed \
%if %{filter_yaml_any}
    -e '/perl(YAML::Any)/d' \
%endif
    -e '/perl(packed-refs)/d'
EOF

%global __perl_requires %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/%{name}-req
chmod +x %{__perl_requires}

The spec file should use new generators (__requires_exclude) only.
