I am trying to determine who installed GIT and when GIT was installed

The date stamp on /usr/share/git-core says Oct 31 16:55.  The server
did not exist until early November.

/root/install.log should contain the packages installed from the normal installer or the kickstart installer. Things installed after that would be recorded in /var/log/yum.log . However, this'll only tell you when the RPM was installed, not which non-root user was responsible or which repository it came from. You could try "rpm -q -f /usr/share/git-core/templates/description --qf %{NAME}%{INSTALLTIME}%{VENDOR}" and convert the timestamp from seconds-since-epoch to a regular time as well.

If the log files and RPM database don't contain anything about a git RPM, then whoever installed it might've done "./configure --prefix=/usr && make && su -c 'make install' ". At that point, you go trawling through users' .bash_history files....
