This variable is used only by shell scripts, not by C programs. It was originally included in GIT-CFLAGS as part of ad17ea7 (add a Makefile switch to avoid gettext translation in shell scripts, 2012-01-23), in an attempt to trigger rebuilding when the variable changed. However, shell scripts do not respect GIT-CFLAGS. Later, e4dd89a (Makefile: update scripts when build-time parameters change, 2012-06-20) introduced a separate GIT-SCRIPT-DEFINES to accomplish this, which also included USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME. We can drop the redundant and useless mention in GIT-CFLAGS.
