This only means the rpms in the yum repository at kernel.org were built

I understand the meaning of the error messages.  What I am asking is
whether or not any of these dependencies is substantive.  If they are then
I am stuck at the immediately previous release of GiT. If not then I have
the option to either build from source or force an rpm update.  If I force
then I can no long use yum but at least I have the applicate managed by
rpm.  If I build from source then I lose that as well.

So, my question still remains: are these dependencies only artifacts of
the build environment or do they supply actual features that the latest
release of GiT depends upon and which are not available in the earlier
version of the software?
