Yes, I hope to get to this in the near future.

Minimal testing showed me that it is also possible to clone the git
repository somewhere outside the vim-directory and symlink to the
vimfiles subdirectory inside the git repository from ~/.vim:

$ cd $HOME
$ git clone git://vim-latex.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/vim-latex/vim-latex
$ mv .vim .vim_old
$ ln -s vim-latex/vimfiles/ .vim

With git 1.7.4 on Fedora I can also use git commands inside ~/.vim.
