What problems are you running into getting git on debian 3?

I tried installing git... it turns out that in Debian 3 git is the Gnu Interactive Tool, not a source code management program ;-)

So I downloaded the latest version of git source, using wget from

https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.9...

Then I found I needed zlib, from

https://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.12.tar.xz

And I also needed Tcl/Tk

https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.6.12-src.tar.gz

And I also needed autoconf

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.71.tar.gz

Autoconf needed a newer version of m4

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.19.tar.gz

m4 couldn't install... I'm not sure why... so I gave up at that point. 8(
