Is there a way by which I can use Git not only as a code repository but also for a build and continuous deployment to Azure (Cloud service, NOT web site)? I suspect not given the missing build environment unless but want to confirm this before writing it off.
In theory I can see having Git hosted on a Windows server that also does the build and deployment - not sure if anyone has reduced this to practice.

Update : This is now possible
Working like charm with both git and tfs.

There is support in the new management portal for directly publishing "Web Sites" from Git, but not for Cloud Services as you have already noticed. However, there is support for doing that with TFS. There is currently a free TFS hosted preview available, and I have a blog post that walks through configuring Continuous Integration with Azure Web Sites and TFS Preview. The process is nearly identical for a Cloud Service.
