Thank you for your report. I suspect the multistage build is leaving behind a folder containing files/libraries needed by git after the compilation. I will look into it.

Thank you very much for checking. That's weird, I did try cloning a github repo on my development build and had no issues. I'll look into it.
I looks like it's not picking up the updated OpenSSL lib. Maybe we need to export /opt/patches/share/ fro the intermediate build. I try that.
So? any updates on this? Is it tested?
@clange thanks for reviewing and merging!
@kati I don't think this will appear on 7319. As it is right now this will only upgrade git in the slc5 image and any standalone image based on slc5. I'm happy to port the changes to slc6 and cmssw5 standalone if you want it! The port to slc6 should be much quicker.
