Bug#984931: [PATCH] git-el: disable byte-compilation

[David Bremner <bremner@debian.org>]

Since there is no provided user functionality, there is no point in
making things more complicated.

I confirmed that this fixes the installation problem, and that it
still prints the same messages as before.  There's really no benefit
to byte compiling such simple elisp, especially since most users will
probably only run it once.

I'd rather not NMU git during the freeze; would you mind applying this
(or something similar)?
