Hmmm, it was not installed by git-2.13.2, as far as I can tell.
Thanks for prompting me to look at preivous logs:
- it was installed for git-2.11.0 (and perl 5.24)
- it was installed for git-2.11.1 (and perl 5.24)
- it was installed for git-2.12.0 (and perl 5.24.1)
- it was installed for git-2.12.1 (and perl 5.24.1)
- it was installed for git-2.12.2 (and perl 5.24.1)
- it was installed for git-2.13.0 (and perl 5.24.1)
- it was installed for git-2.13.1 (and perl 5.24.1)
- But it was not installed for git-2.13.2 (and perl 5.26.0)

Problem with googling is that there are a lot of users missing Error.pm in
their distro, which does not say whether git generated it or not...

Will try to investigate more.
