Update git instructions to follow redirects
What does this MR do?
The URI provided for Git 2.18.0 is returning a 301. This causes the existing download instructions for Git curl --remote-name --progress https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.18.0.tar.gz
to pull down a redirect page instead of the expected archive. This MR updates the Curl command to follow the redirect.
Updated command: curl --remote-name --location --progress https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.18.0.tar.gz
