Why would anything that has to do with MSVC2005 be interesting to msysGit?
Note the "msys" part of "msysGit".

FWIW a member of our team works on compiling/including qgit into msysGit.
But definitely not using closed-source compilers.  I would violently
oppose that.

I would (violently) agree with you, but I also violently oppose to
waste a week end fighting with Qt4 + mingw compilation. MSVC2005 is
needed as a kind of "debug tool" to better understand if the problem
is with Qt4 or with mingw (as I suspect).

Abdel is very kind to try to help in caming out with a qgit.exe more
or less ready to be packaged. I'm not opposed, in this phase, to
follow different _technically_ sound paths. Then when the dust settles
down we could do our consideration regarding open source, in which I
belive very firmly, so firmly that I'm not scared to _test_ different
ways if this can be useful to shed some light on this issue.
