It looks like yum tried to get packages from repos.fedorapeople.org and
DNS resolution failed. Perhaps this was a temporary failure and
rerunning will not run into name resolution problems? Also, we have
never really tested devstack on CentOS like we do on Ubuntu. This will
probably change with CentOS 7 in the near future but not with 6. You
might also try using Ubuntu Precise or Trusty VMs.

As for the git thing that may depend on how you have newer git
installed. Was 1.8.4 installed via yum so that the package DB knows that
it exists? I don't think devstack care about a specific version it is
just ensuring that git exists.
