Ok, I tried it out. (I didn't look for a file handler or did anything
about stderr handling).
With just one more change for a call to local-variable-p with just one
arg instead of two, magit will start up and appears to run. There are
some issues of course.
If anyone else is interested, I can send you the diffs. I'm not sure
I want to use magit instead of git.el; too much motor memory using
pcl-cvs.:-)
