So, what's happening here is that you try to use git on files that aren't accessible by your (non-root) user.
That might be because the actual source files don't belong to you, or because the .git directory doesn't – which definitely happens once someone (you maybe?) used sudo git.

No, but you could build Git without the Curl dependency on libcurl. It will disable features. Remember that wget is just a binary, whereas Curl provides a shared library as well and that is used by Git. Three options here:
