The outcome was that I said that I would first have to make a release.

I am using Jonas' next branch of magit, easily available from github.
I install it via el-get using a variant recipe:

(:name magit
       :description "It's Magit! An Emacs mode for Git."
       :website     "https://github.com/magit/magit#readme"
       :type        github
       :pkgname     "magit/magit"
       :branch      "next"
       :depends     dash
       :compile     "magit.*\.el\\'")

It is already eminently  usable.
