Thanks very much to all who offered advice on this. :-) Unfortunately openSUSE is somewhat out of sync not just with git but in libraries necessary to install the latest version (libcrypto.so.4, libssl.so.4). The openssl (0.9.7g-2.4) and openssl-devel (0.9.7g-2) packages don't contain these but rather contain libcrypto.so.0.9.7 and libssl.0.9.7. Just in case it's important to future git development.
It might be useful for the openSuSE developers, but for git this is totally irrelevant. If you build from sources yourself they will be linked to whatever libraries you have installed.
