Louis,
Unfortunately, the way that Git for Windows is packaged, it doesn't update
the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall) or
touch the Windows Installer Database (and update the WMI Win32_Product).
As a result, no matter how you perform the installation (using either the
"exec" or "package" types), each subsequent Puppet run will invoke a
reinstall/repair of the product (and most likely this will be undesirable
behavior).

.
Therefore, you will need to create a method to determine if it is
installed. One way of doing this is to write a check file after install.
I tested your manifest on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 box and it was successful
(I didn't get a timeout). You may want to use Microsoft's Process Monitor
to determine the "command line" call to the exe.
exec:
file {$pkg:
ensure => present,
name => 'C:\Temp\Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe',
#source => 'puppet:///puppetfs/Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe',
source => "x:\\Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe",
mode => '0755',
before => Exec[$pkg],
}
exec {$pkg:
creates => 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin',
command => 'C:\Windows\sysnative\cmd.exe /c
"C:\Temp\Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe /silent"',
logoutput => true,
timeout => 900,
}
package:
file {$pkg:
ensure => present,
name => 'C:\Temp\Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe',
#source => 'puppet:///puppetfs/Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe',
source => "x:\\Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe",
mode => '0755',
before => Package[$pkg],
}
package {$pkg:
ensure => installed,
source =>'C:/Temp/Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe',
install_options => '/silent',
}
