Just to clarify, it == git-mswin.el

No. it == contrib/emacs/*, I believe.

I wouldn't mind contrib/emacs being bundled for the advertising, but I
think any Emacs users would find the official contribs by themselves
anyway. Besides, there seems to be other git for Emacs users modes
floating around. Let's wait until we can take off "preview" from the
installers. ;-)

Actually I think the vi stuff is good enough for now. git rebase -i
even works from cmd.exe because of the default GIT_EDITOR=vim, great!
And an Emacs user like me only has to do something like
GIT_EDITOR=c:/app/emacs/bin/gnuclient.exe to get his fix. (backslashes
don't work currently)

Since GNU Emacs doesn't have a package management system, installation
is a manual affair. I wouldn't expect msysgit installer to do
installation for me.

If bundling just for advertising, I think a copy of vc-git.el, git.el,
and git-blame.el placed in %Program Files%\Git\contrib\emacs would be
enough. Also git-mswin.el, of course.
