It seems to be a problem with incorrect order of rebuilding.

After portage got to dev-perl/XML-SAX-1.20.0-r1::gentoo ( which was after dev-vcs/git ), I could compile dev-vcs/git[doc] successfully.

Yeah, Portage sometimes gets the merge order wrong for Perl rebuilds. There is probably a bug for that already, but I cannot locate it at the moment.
