I'm split on this personally. I'd love to have git as part of
kdevplatform, but I'm also hesitant as its unclear how stable it is to
me at least. IIRC it does work, even though the internal design isn't
quite good.

IMHO movingranges branch should be top-priority to merge. Either merge
git into master before 4.1 branching or do it with the movingranges as
its not that big a change anyway. AFAIU David runs movingranges on a
daily basis, so thats good-enough testing for me personally to merge it
asap after 4.1 branching.

At the latest we should release with 4.6 end of January.
