该问题是由 git configure 配置时没有设定 --with-curl --with-expat 造成。
参考:git INSTALL文件:
“libcurl” library is used by git-http-fetch and git-fetch. You might also want the “curl” executable for debugging purposes. If you do not use http:// or https:// repositories, you do not have to have them (use NO_CURL).
“expat” library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock management over DAV. Similar to “curl” above, this is optional (with NO_EXPAT).
CentOS的话,使用yum安装curl开发相关库后:
$ yum install libcurl-devel
重新配置编译git即可。
