There is a branch in launchpad with work on Git support. I don't know
the status, but it looks like working code. If you are interested you
could check it out and feedback to the maintainer of that branch.

If we can leverage existing code to add multiple VCS backends at once
that is a good thing. I guess you are the most qualified to check what

have questions about implementation details of the VCS plugin.
