is not updated. Last update is of 17 may 2012.
Why ?

It must be because 2 people got commit access rights for Lazarus repository that day.
There is a list of accepted committer names and email addresses in Graeme's mirror system. When a new person joins, the list must be edited manually. It happened also when I got commit access few years ago.
I really don't know why Graeme set up that system. We may have to wait for his fix because he has moved recently and may be busy with other things.
It would be a good idea to put up another mirror, maybe at GitHub or SourceForge or a private server or whereever.
It only requires a permanently running server which fetches and copies the possible changes from SVN server to the git repository in timed intervals, maybe every 15 minutes.
The git mirror's master would follow SVN trunk. It would solve one problem that Graeme's mirror has: there master is an old experimental branch and "upstream" follows SVN trunk.
It is a problem when someone forks his own branch. At least GitHub's own diff view shows the difference against master and it looks like there is a long history of changes. Also in the local repo you must think more carefully what you do.
Volunteers for a new mirror?

P.S.
I mentioned 2 new people with commit access.
One is Bart Broersma, a long time contributor who got write access to LCL + a component dir.
Another is David Jenkins, employee of http://www.scootersoftware.com, makers of the Beyond Compare tool. They evaluate Lazarus for their cross-platform development and improve Carbon bindings in the process.

It is 10 years later. Does Lazarus IDE support GIT now?

Is not a real necessity, there are free GUI tools everywhere for Git, for each OS.

I started a new thread: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,62146.0.html
Please don't reply to a 10 year old thread.
