What about the oft-asked for windows port?  From what I've seen, none of the 
Unix types have any incentive to do this, so a financial incentive might be 
just the thing.

Perhaps the windows port is already far enough along that this wouldn't be a 
big job.  In which case the project could be windows shell integration (or 
whatever other candy-based device a windows user would need to easily use 
git).

Project title: "Make it so that one .exe click-and-install would make the full 
power of git available in an idiot^H^H^H^H^H typical-GUI-using-developer 
friendly form"

Given that the best thing for git in the long term is more users, and that no 
windows support is the commonly given reason why other SCMs are chosen 
instead, this would be a good use of the resources.

I'm off to shower, I feel dirty even talking about Windows :-)
