One thing to bear in mind is why our CMakeLists.txt was introduced in 
the first place [1]. Visual Studio's CMake integration means that so 
long as git-for-windows is installed building git is simply a case of 
clicking on a button, there is no need to install extra software or 
plugins. I'm not sure the same is true for meson and I don't think we 
want to end up supporting both.

Best Wishes

Phillip
