This is exciting not only because of the Tor project itself but because this will set an example for other projects to follow.

This creates also an opportunity to engage Mozilla into contributing

Note that Mozilla is already working with Tor developers to get more of their patches upstreamed into Firefox to ease their maintenance burden.

If any of the developers are reading this, converting the existing C code to SaferCPlusPlus[1] (a memory safe subset of C++) is probably a more expedient solution (if that's what they're looking for). (And speaking of contributing, an automatic translation (assistance) tool is in early development, and could maybe be functional in short order with a little extra motivated talent... :)

I would recommend updating your .gitignore for VS2015. The .vs directory and *.VC.db should both be excluded from the repo.

Thanks. I'll take all the git/github advice I can get. :)
