I don't understand this one. Why do you need independent upgrades here? Since Git.pm comes with git core, the installed version of Git.pm should always match the installed version of git.

A module on CPAN has better tests for perl integration. A module in git-core has better tests for git integration.

You trade one for the other. The question is which is more critical. IMHO, git-integration is more critical.
