Details

Current versions of Git install the following emacs lisp files:

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/git/git-blame.el is owned by git 1.7.2.3-2
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/git/git.el is owned by git 1.7.2.3-2

Now, there is a makefile in usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/git/ that will generate byte-compiled versions of those files for increased performance in Emacs, but apparently the build process is never run, because there are no *.elc files installed.

Could you please update the PKGBUILD to run "make" in that directory, too, so that the byte-compiled files are installed as well?
This task depends upon

No, because I'm not making the git build depend on having a 32MB emacs package installed which is just silly.

Having byte-compiled emacs modules available is not "silly", it's actually quite useful for performance reasons and it's also common practice to provide them in virtually all distributions. Having git depend on Emacs makes no sense, of course, but adding it to "makedepends" so that these compiled files can be generated is perfectly sensible.
