Currently the git plugin uses a custom toolview, which indeed should be
changed to use a new "Git" tab in the Version Control toolview.

As the git plugin parses the output from git to find out whats happening I
guess you don't see anything because it simply eats it and doesn't produce
any output of its own.

The code is at
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdevplatform/plugins/git

You'll need to check out all of kdevplatform to actually build it
(instructions can be found on our website).
