ehh?  What is the issue against not carrying a local fork, and 
just dropping in the upstream?  It seems to tolerate the EL 5 
emacs just fine  [/me forgets if I needed to add leaf node 
build tools, but it looks like all I had to carry to build it 
were: asciidoc, cvsps, tla, and perhaps subversion to 
complete the dependency chain; I dont have a README in the 
deployment directory, so I assume the build was uneventful]

It appears the F 'git-1.7.2.1-1.fc11.src.rpm' also built in my 
modified CentoS 5 environment
