Well, I think it's really bad that we didn't get any Git version for 4.0,
that's why I created such branch (and because I needed some changes for
master).
If people keep getting that bad impression we can change the gitorious repo
somehow in order to let people know it's not there yet but for the moment I
propose to stay like that.

As for the plugin, it's quite stable (even if it lacks some features) but
it's not putting us in a bad place.
