Good idea!  I'm also affected by this problem, although the
git-rev-list is not an issue anymore since version 0.5.  Simplifying
the checkout() is still in my plans though, so your contribution comes
at the right moment.  Once the code will be made available we'll be
able to take the best of the two Git plugins and merge them into one.

WDYT?
