TL;DR: I need recent version of git (2.3 ATM) and I need it on centos6 and centos7.
this is great! We can either do it via a SCL or just inplace distro package replacement ( into the Plus repos ). Since you have already had a stab at doing this with the 1.9 git on scl's - that might be the best route to take here as well.
I'd start from the variants over at http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/CentOS/6/SRPMS/, which is a pretty nice repository for such opodated packages. Those are version 2.2, named with package names like "git2u". I'd update and name a variant "git2.3u" or something like that.
Cool !
I'm just wondering what are the duty and stuff for being a maintainer (esp. all security related things). Rebuild an existing package is a thing, being maintainer of a new version is different.
I'm more tempted to have it as an SCL as those packages should be usable on RHEL too.
