Hi Raul,
In the current development version of Mathematica Limit can prove this.
Series expansion about t==0 is
In[2]:= Series[g[t], {t, 0, 1}]
Out[2]= (-1)^Floor[(Pi + 2*Arg[t])/(2*Pi)]*
(Floor[(Pi + 2*Arg[t])/(2*Pi)]*SeriesData[t, 0, {I*Pi}, 1, 2, 1] +
SeriesData[t, 0, {(-2*EulerGamma + Log[4] - 2*Log[t] -
3*PolyGamma[0, 1/2] + PolyGamma[0, 3/2])/2}, 1, 2, 1])
