Git-the-SCM is not a GNU project and not available from the GNU ftp
server.

You found GNU Interactive Tools (GIT) which has been around for a long
time (longer than Git-the-SCM) but was not very well known.  See:

http://www.gnu.org/software/git/

However due to the popularity of Git-the-SCM, GNU Interactive Tools was
renamed gnuit in 2007 or so:

 Probably the best thing to do wold be to see if there is an updated
 version of git on AIX which will work for you and install it. On my Linux
 system, git is at 2.4.3! There is a package here:

 for AIX.


 Unfortunately, that's not it. The package is called git but it's not
 Git-the-SCM.


I wonder what it is. ​I thought that it was git the SCM because the
source link pointed to the GNU ftp server and the git directory within
it.​ Perhaps best would be for the OP to download the source and compile it.



 Still, external unofficial repositories hosting Git packages for AIX do
 exist.


 Looks a bit weird to me because it has an RPM and I didn't think AIX used
 RPM.


 I'm not familiar with AIX either, but from googling, it appears that there
 exists something called like Linux compatibiliy layer for AIX, and
 supposedly RPMs are installed that way (via the `rpm` tool from that
 layer's packages).
