Are you able to build Git from source? Do you have all the dependencies 
already installed? If so, I have sometimes used the Git binary in the 
build folder when testing a new feature I was working on because I 
didn't want to install an unstable version on my system. It worked fine 
for the most part, though I admit I didn't really use a whole lot of 
things other than commit and some worktree commands. Maybe something 
like that would work for you? You can download a tarball from kernel.org 
[0].

If you can't, maybe you can try building Git on a machine you _do_ have 
internet and root access on, and then copy over the binaries? Again, I 
haven't played around a whole lot with something like this so I can't 
say if it'll work. Something to try I guess.
