No, as the output suggests, it does not have enough space to install that package. Since the entire system is loaded into the RAM, it basically means you've run out of memory.
And since it's only slightly overhead (62101/61512 blocks required), I guess that it worked on the previous live CD because the Arch installation medium tends to get bigger and bigger over the years.

EDIT Since you are using VirtualBox, you should try to increase the amount of RAM you are providing to the VM (how much is it right now?)
EDIT2 I know it's for some installation automation, but still: what are you trying to achieve when installing git on the live system?

I try to increase RAM, same error. 1,5GB now.
I try to install GIT to use it for clone script from github...

Re: VirtualBox-git install error

Alright, I tried it now in a qemu VM, and I get the same error for git, but when installing a larger package (e.g. vim) it installs fine.

df -h tells me I've got enough space to install git, though. I'm out of ideas.

EDIT It seems to me that the airootfs is fixed to 256 MB in any case.

EDIT2 Please see this thread.
