Nice, I've been pretty interested in git recently but since I use Windows primarily (flame me all you want, but I actually like Windows) it seemed like it wasn't worth the hassle. I will definitely have to try it now. I had thought earlier msys-git was kind of unsupported so my only option was cygwin but I guess that isn't so much of a problem if github seems to be endorsing it.
We've had a lot of people tell us that they're using Git on Windows with msysgit. It provides everything you need to be productive with Git and the install procedure is pretty slick. There's always room for improvement and a TortoiseGit [1] is in the works too, though still quite alpha.
Ahh, that's a bit of a problem. That was something I was intending on using. But I'll still check it out and hope for msysgit to improve in the future.
