Using git on Windows requires to install MSYS (it comes in the same
package as the ported git).  I'd like to avoid having yet another
incompatible set of tools with the same names on my machine.

Learning yet another CM tool is also not the best use of my scarce
time and resources, so I'd like to avoid that unless absolutely
necessary.

Will it be possible to have a CVS gateway to git?  If so, it will make
me happy, as I don't intend to do any serious development in Make that
would require branching any time soon.

Another possibility would be to use bzr instead of git.  Emacs is
going to switch to bzr soon, and when it does, so will I.  However,
AFAIK, people who work on GNU/Linux don't like bzr because it's too
slow to their liking, so I won't push this possibility, I'm just
mentioning it as a reasonable compromise if you are willing to
consider it.

Thanks.
