IIUC, git is not required, we can drop git and bz2 as build-deps, package with
the --without-{bz2,cvs,git} config flags, and not really affect existing or
future packages.
Is that our situation?
Yes. As you showed, you already distribute the archive in .dir.tar.xz format;
therefore you can drop dependencies on git, cvs, bzip2. You only need to ensure
a dependency on 'xz'.
