Notice the double "_build/_build" piece in the last element of the
tuple. This is a common source of confusion, because for technical
reasons it is impossible to use : as another separator here.
So, these are actually two elements - a distfile group and a subdir
where to put the unpacked distfile.
In your case you end up with two tuples using the same group called
"_build". Renaming it fixes the issueL

GL_TUPLE= gitlab-org:git:v${GITLAB_GIT_VERSION}:git_dep/_build/deps/git-v${GITLAB_GIT_VERSION_SHORT}
\
    gitlab-org:git:${GITLAB_GIT_MASTER_VERSION}:git_master_dep/_build/deps/git-master
