All of this is very valuable data to make my case for Meson instead of
CMake. Appreciated, thanks!
One thing to bear in mind is why our CMakeLists.txt was introduced in
the first place [1]. Visual Studio's CMake integration means that so
long as git-for-windows is installed building git is simply a case of
clicking on a button, there is no need to install extra software or
plugins. I'm not sure the same is true for meson and I don't think we
want to end up supporting both.
