I think I found it - he added a bunch of experimental repositories in 
yum.conf, and I was looking in yum.repos.d and didn't see anything out 
of place.

Removing all the experimental/bleeding edge repositories and doing a 
"yum clean all" and "yum -y update" seems to have gotten past this.

I don't know if it will break git though.
