Found it in a few places - none looks particularly "official":

http://ftp.ntu.edu.tw/software/scm/git/
http://mirrors.adnettelecom.ro/kernel.org/software/scm/git/?order=N
http://www.mmnt.net/db/0/0/ftp.uni-duisburg.de/Unix/SCM

Best more official copy seems to be at 
http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list but this only goes back to 
1.7.6.4

Any preference?  Is it worth caching a copy ourselves?
