You could also try this:
Install Eclipse from eclipse.org - it is java based.
Inside install the following plugins:
 EGit for git access
 VEX, a visual XML editor
 optional CDT, the C Developement Tools, to run the autotools
 - make etc. - inside Eclipse.

Help us to improve the related wiki pages: GIT, Eclipse, ...
by reporting the problems occuring in a fresh install.
Ask here or quicker on IRC
