I guess that you didn't issue `make install' and instead write something
like `(load "~/.emacs.d/lib/auctex/auctex.el" nil t t)' in your init
file.
If this guess is correct, then a situation like

would follow.

AUCTeX assumes the following directory layout for installed files:

--+ tex-site.el
  + auctex.el
  + auctex + tex.el(c)
           + tex-buf.el(c)
           + latex.el(c)
           + ...
           + style + acro.el(c)
                   + acronym.el(c)
                   + ...

I.e., a subdirectory "auctex" is on the same level with tex-site.el and
auctex.el, and all of the rest files are inside that subdirectory.  This
is different from the status of git checkout, which is without "auctex"
subdirectory.
In other words, the git checkout directory cannot be used as an
alternative of installation.
