TortoiseSVN is a good place to start because it separates out the
windows icon decorators into a separate DLL (shared with TortoiseCVS).
This is significant, as these are a finite resource in the windows
shell, and so having a TortoiseSVN + TortoiseGIT on one machine and
you might run out, and I'd imagine lots of people wanting both.

On the minus side, building (Tortoise)SVN requires a lot of
environment setup just to get it to build - most of which can be
immediately thrown away as it's specific to SVN.

But it doesn't look like a hard project to me, just requires stripping
out a lot of junk and re-patching callouts to a git executable (which
could be the standard git tools) and a minimal git library that knows
if files are dirty.
