ewoc and log-edit are not part of XEmacs 21.4.20 (the version i am using), furthermore make-temp-file is not available either, but those problems, unlike the case/eql/literals issue, can be resolved without touching git.el (One might argue that case can be fixed with defadvice or other hackery, but that's a bit too much)
