For instance, I'd like to have a 'cmake' repository where I store all
the FindBlah.cmake modules, so that I can share them from every
repository, and not worry about users changing and committing in the
main project instead of the submodule.

to compile and install CMake on msysGit, right?

Right

What happened in the meantime?

What happened is I was very busy until November. Now I've got some free time.

At this moment, what stops me from beginning this project is a simple
question: is it worth my time? From the discussion a few months ago,
it looked like it would the a second-class citizen and never replace
the existing buildsystems, so I really wonder if I should spend me
time porting git to CMake, or I should focus on other projects which
would gladly receive my contributions. If you honestly think it's
worth it, just tell me and I'll start the port to CMake immediately.
