Well, the counter  arguments are:

I don't understand this one. Why do you need independent upgrades here?
Since Git.pm comes with git core, the installed version of Git.pm should
always match the installed version of git.

No
availability or review of the module on the standard venues for doing
so for Perl modules. CPAN, CPANTESTERS, smoke reports, etc.

A module on CPAN has better tests for perl integration.
A module in git-core has better tests for git integration.

You trade one for the other. The question is which is more critical. IMHO,
git-integration is more critical.
