For an SCM rockspec I think the whole purpose is to get the latest master, so
you can't get around using git
LuaRocks installs a batch file which is used as the main os command;
luarocks.bat (and also luarocks-admin.bat)
Edit the batch file, you'll see a temporary extension of the PATH variable,
only local to this batch file.
In my case;
SET PATH=c:\users\public\lua\LuaRocks\2.1\;%PATH%
Edit that line to include the path to git and other tools (I have MinGW in my
path already).
That should resolve your issue without interfering with other
applications/tools.
Maybe adding those paths as parameters to the luarocks configuration would be a
good idea (might even be available already, in that case I just don't know them)

It sure is!
