Unfortunately, I don't think we can do that.  libreadline is GPLv3+, and
Git is GPLv2, so it would violate the license to distribute a binary
linked that way.

It's possible that libeditline could be used instead to provide similar
features, though.  If it's important to you that this be implemented,
you can send a patch, or you can see if someone else is interested
enough to do so.
