Git is supported on Windows in the mingw port...  There's also some 
support brewing quickly in 'egit' for Eclipse.  Good for you LuaEclipse 
users out there.


Fragmentation wouldn't be a problem at all...  if a project allowed for 
'official' distributed dev, then changes would be significantly easier 
to give back in an organized way.  Ex: Support for a new DB could be 
worked/tested/etc in a branch of LuaSQL and then when the dev thought it 
good enough to merge into mainline, a patchset could be submitted that 
would merge cleanly in.
Fragmentation would be a result of difficulty in submitting changes and 
of sharing those changes before they would be merged (or not).
