yep, I agree with Andreas here. My major concern is the user side. I 
know that git is used for the kernel and kernel-close projects. But 
these are all C hard coders, they "know what they do" (now, I guess we 
hope so :p), but Kannel users are more the application users.

Question: Is git POSIX.1 compliant? In terms of platform abstraction? 
There is no Linux specific requirements I guess? What is the underlying 
repo storage type? Berkeley DB?
