Instead of propagation, I recommend substitution, like done currently.
Propagation is not necessary to ‘keep git around’ (assuming that the
store reference is not obfuscated by gzipping or the like).

If it's used at build-time instead of run-time, then git should be
moved to native-inputs, for cross-compilation reasons.
