The "Modernizing and expanding Git.pm" project refers to the Git
module in git sources[1], that is used by git commands implemented in
Perl like git-svn, git-send-email, and interactive part of git-add.
It is not on CPAN (though if you feel like it putting it on CPAN might
be part of this project, but it must be "dual-lived").
[1]: http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/blob/HEAD:/perl/Git.pm
http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=perl/Git.pm
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/perl/Git.pm
You can of course take inspiration and code (if it is with compatibile
license) from various Git::* modules on CPAN to implement the
"expanding" part of this project.
Note that Git.pm must remain extremly portable, which includes
ActivePerl on MS Windows (msysGit or Cygwin). Use of non-core modules
(for 5.8.0) should be also probably limited.
