I think it would be worth a try, since I can get flightgear from there using
git clone http://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/flightgear

You should be able to import CVS repository using
git-cvsimport
http://issaris.blogspot.com/2005/11/cvs-to-git-and-back.html

then offer read-only access to the obtained repo for testing.

Once git repo is there we'll have to see how CTest can handle git repository.

I know CTest natively supports CVS and SVN
but I did never try git,
in fact I do not currently use git (only tried a toy project)
I know I should begin using it :-)
May be it's an occasion.

There may be a remaining issue which is the usability of git
on Windows.

Does anyone of you have some experience using git on windows?

Is this http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/  usable?
