The curl license is very permissive, so there is no problem to link it against any GPL program. OTOH, the OpenSSL is more restrictive than GPL, and because GPL is copyleft (i.e. it prevents adding any restriction on any derived work) to distribute Git linked against OpenSSL is technically illegal unless OpenSSL is the part of the standard OS libraries or Git developers provide a special exemption that allows to link Git against OpenSSL and to redistribute the result.
