Is there interest in an emacs interface for git?  I posted a first
version (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=113313040724346&w=2)
some time ago, I'd be happy to send you a patch with my latest version
if you want to include it.
Out of interest, why did you choose not to make this a vc- plug-in?
For the same reason that there are both vc-cvs and pcl-cvs modes, they
are completely different approaches to the user interface. The VC mode
is purely file-oriented, and is very limited in its ability to handle
project-wide changes. It has its uses, but IMO there's no way to
exploit the full capabilities of a tool like git (or even CVS) with
the VC interface.
