 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

The command yum repolist

Please help me install and resolve these missing dependencies

Please share the actual yum command you're using in the above scenario. –  slm Jun 25 '13 at 18:51

Try disabling the RPMForge repo

Do the command as follows:

$ sudo yum --disablerepo=rpmforge install git

The repositories EPEL and RPMForge don't get along that well.

Mixing EPEL6 repos with EPEL5?

If the above doesn't resolve the issue then it would appear that you're mixing EPEL6 repositories with your CentOS 5 installation. In looking at a CentOS 5 installation I have here I have the following repositories:

$ yum repolist
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
repo id                                  repo name                                                                            status
base                                     CentOS-5 - Base                                                                       3,641
convirt                                  ConVirt repository                                                                        4
convirt-dep                              ConVirt Dependencies                                                                      7
elrepo                                   ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el5                                  412
extras                                   CentOS-5 - Extras                                                                       270
rpmforge                                 RHEL 5 - RPMforge.net - dag                                                          11,275
updates                                  CentOS-5 - Updates                                                                      447
repolist: 16,056

See what versions of git I have outside of RPMForge:

$ sudo yum --disablerepo=rpmforge list all git*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.nexcess.net
 * elrepo: elrepo.org
 * extras: centos.mirrors.tds.net
 * updates: mirrors.einstein.yu.edu
Installed Packages
git.x86_64                                                1.7.10.4-1.el5.rf                                                installed

The above shows that if I disable RPMForge, the only version of git available for my mix of repos is the one coming from RPMForge, and the latest version is 1.7.

Given this It would appear that you're mixing a package from CentOS 6, would be my guess.

After running the above command I still get the same error –  Anand Sunderraman Jun 25 '13 at 18:08
 
@AnandSunderraman - Sorry I gave you the wrong command, please try the updated answer now. Sorry about that. –  slm Jun 25 '13 at 18:11
 
thanks but the updated command also returns the same error. –  Anand Sunderraman Jun 25 '13 at 18:12
 
Where are the rest of your repo's in that yum repolist command? I get these: base, epel, extras, updates, rpmforge on CentOS 5. –  slm Jun 25 '13 at 18:21

@AnandSunderraman - Can you look in your /etc/yum.repo.d/* files and make sure you're not pointing to EL6 repos? I don't see 1.8 available in the epel for EL5. I think you're mixing repos. –  slm Jun 25 '13 at 18:30
