Oh, I've put a LOT of effort into trying to sell git (very successfully) too!! ;) Fortunately, git has loads of good clients now.

A genuinely interested party, but he's not gonna go out of his way for it. I can't control the natural reaction that most people have to being confronted with a registration page. I'd suggest openauth, and people using their github accounts; I think that's what people expect. I mean, most people just expect the bug tracker to BE on github ;)
