Perhaps you know less about the build system than you think. SLN is NOT XML, it's some strange line-based format, that essentially lists projects. From there the whateverproj files are XML and valid MSBuild files.
Git works fine in VS. Use Git Extensions.
I don't know, but I think Git Extensions is superseded by the built-in Git support in VS2013. And it's very limiting if you want to do anything except the basic add, commit, pull, push stuff.
Superseded? How so? It's a third party plugin, just keep using it. The VS native stuff from MS is very immature but "ok" for simple TFS-like workflows.
