If you're using pkg you might be lucky and still have a cached copy
in /var/cache/pkg. In that case try pkg delete git and pkg
add /var/cache/pkg/git-<version>.txz.

Otherwise one way of doing this is getting the old package skeleton
from svn and build it from ports. You need revision 362475 of the ports
tree for git version 2.0.1. Alternatively you can download the files
from svnweb (a bit clumsy, but doesn't require you to install
subversion):

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/git/?pathrev=362475

If you don't have a ports tree yet, do: portsnap fetch extract

Then copy the files in /usr/ports/devel/git, go there and do make
install (do pkg delete git beforehand).
