Right... Unfortunately I can't really offer much help in that respect; I
also don't know how your Windows workflow looks like -- e.g. if you used
Cygwin, then you could use Git in Cygwin roughly the same way you would
on Linux (I guess :)).

Other than that, the "Git on Windows" page on the Git wiki
<https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/MSysGit:Home> (contents of which
are really just the same as the msysGit project home page
<http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/>)
really seems to suggest that it's still rather for the adventurous, and
mentions using Cygwin in case something goes awry (but it might be
somewhat dated).

You might also have a look at other Git front-ends
<https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools>,
some of which mention working on Windows -- there is even a Git port of
TortoiseSVN.

Again, the repo looks fine.
