I have offered to give any serious git developer an HP-UX account, so
one can found out themselves. I can then - hopefully - answer any
remaining question.

There *are* GNU tools around, and I *can* add other tools. I - of
course - cannot install *all* GNU tools. I don't put serious
restrictions on the wishes of developers. You ask we play. Mostly.

The problem here is that I can configure, build, and test any tool
(git) on my system using every GNU tool I might have available, but
once I convert this build into a package/distribution, and people
around the world download it and expect it to work, it will fail if
the tool (git) depends on available system commands that now do not
meet the needs of the tool (git).

Note that I have put TAR = gtar in config.mak.uname, but it is not
consistently used

HP has no rsync. I installed it myself.
As HP does not have rsync, it does not conflict. If I would install cp
however, I bet many system-tasks could fall over.

Maybe it is too old?

I have set SHELL_PATH = /pro/local/bin/bash

The default /bin/sh on HP-UX is almost as bare as the old bourne shell
So, shell related? Likely!
