Just using the msvc toolchain for building git misses the whole purpose
of what VC is used for. MSVC would be used because of the IDE, not for
the compiler IMO. msysgit already has a nice toolchain, using gcc, to
build git. I think there is no reason to use MSVC for that purpose.
The purpose of CMake was to build an .vcproj file to be used by the IDE,
not for a batch process that builds git with the VC toolchain. Users
could than hack git with the IDE from MSVC. And ofcource git should then
also be compilable by MSVC's cl.exe, because the IDE is not capable of
using another toolchain then its own...
