AUCTeX is useful for Windows users as well, the Windows support of git
is not really all too hot AFAIK.

It does not make much sense to move AUCTeX to a different revision
control system than Emacs proper.  While my personal preference would
have been git, Emacs is now using Bazaar.  I am not familiar enough with
Bazaar to really lead the migration (I am using an Emacs git mirror for
my personal Emacs work), and I guess that the situation is not that much
different with other AUCTeX developers.
