Carlos is making good progress, he's had a few versions of git-tag posted, and incorporated feedback into it. Hopefully we'll see that finialize and merge into Junio's tree in the not-too-distant future.

Luiz and I have have been working mostly off-list on this, as we wanted to get something solid that the list can actually look at and comment on, rather than just speculate. Luiz has something he's just about ready to share with us, and may post about it next week. I don't want to steal his thunder, so I'm staying quiet on the topic for now. ;-)

Unfortuantely this isn't a project under GSoC anymore.  The student
involved had some issues with being able to get his paperwork
completed for Google and was not able to participate this summer.
I have not heard much more than that.

I haven't heard anything on it, or looked into it since the start. I did reach out to both the student and Miguel, and got responses back from them at that time, but have not heard anything since. A Google search turned up the Mono GSoC status update mailing list, which has weekly posts from a bunch of other Mono related projects, but none about the C# Git implementation. I'm suspecting maybe it is dead.
