Okay, I broke down, and made an installer: you can get it here:

http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/Git-preview20080201-with-svn.exe

Note: it is almost double the size of the official Git-preview installer, 
almost as large as the msysGit (standalone) installer.  We probably need 
to identify what makes it so large, and try to reduce the size 
substantially.  (I have a hunch that it is perl which bloats it.)

FYI I uploaded the branch which produced that installer to the 
work/git-svn-preview branch, but I did not bother recompiling git to 
make sure that it is current, because compiling takes so darned long on 
Windows.

NOTE: I will probably take down the preview soon, so to save our precious 
download quota for the regular Git previews.

NOTE2: I successfully installed Git from that installer, and successfully 
git-svn-clone'd a small svn repo via http.  It worked, even though it is 
definitely no speed demon.

Ciao,
Dscho
