I'm using Git on Windows, and it works perfectly well for me.

I installed msysGit, but I generally don't use the msys shell since having discovered (thanks to Max Maischein) that just putting

C:\Program Files\Git\cmd

in your PATH in a regular cmd.exe shell lets you do just about everything that you need from there.

Gui GUI and Gitk work nicely too.
