Which version of the build system are you using? In master and the upcoming 
danny / 1.3 release we have a check in the bitbake wrapper script to determine 
if a newer version of git needs to be built (if the host's version of git is 
older than 1.7.5); if so we build one (git-replacement-native). The denzil / 
1.2 release does not have this, however.

Cheers,
Paul
