ninja build

Is there any interest in building git with ninja? [1]. I think it would be very interesting to move forward from make to ninja.

While it might be interesting, would it be a productive use of the community's time? So many platforms include standard varieties of MAKE and it is well supported by the autotools framework. Tons of people know how to maintain it.

So it may sound cool, but that alone does not make it a good idea.
