Oh, I've put a LOT of effort into trying to sell git (very
successfully) too!! ;)
Fortunately, git has loads of good clients now. Particularly on Windows.

Well, my colleague isn't a troll. A genuinely interested party, but
he's not gonna go out of his way for it. I can't control the natural
reaction that most people have to being confronted with a registration

I'd suggest openauth, and people using their github accounts; I think
that's what people expect. I mean, most people just expect the bug
tracker to BE on github ;)
