Yes I have git on my system, I use it fairly regularly for my research
projects. I see that `org-version' looks for git repository in the
toplevel install directory (/opt/emacs-lisp/share/emacs/site-lisp/org)
and it doesn't find it. Which is expected because my install directory
and my build directory (i.e. the git repository) are different. How do I
make it look at the build directory (~/build/org-mode) instead?

I removed my entire Emacs 24 install, reinstalled it in
/opt/emacs-lisp/share/emacs. Then installed org-mode in
/opt/emacs-lisp/share/emacs/site-lisp/org. Then I put a site-start file
called org-mode.el in /opt/emacs-lisp/share/emacs/site-lisp with the
following contents:

On restarting Emacs and calling org-version, I get "Org-mode version
7.01trans". There shouldn't be any mixed files after all this. The
problem still persists. Does that mean I am doing the installation wrong?

That doesn't help. Which is probably good. :)
