You're quite wrong. GitX is available at https://github.com/brotherbard/gitx/downloads https://github.com/brotherbard/gitx/downloads (Get the experimental branch) Git Tower is available at http://www.git-tower.com/ http://www.git-tower.com/ Textmate has a GIT Bundle at https://github.com/jcf/git-tmbundle https://github.com/jcf/git-tmbundle (It's quite good, but maybe not for designers). And Giggle (http://live.gnome.org/giggle http://live.gnome.org/giggle). Windows is the only OS lacking a good client, but I use GitX for Mac every day, as do the less technical "devs" at our Startup.

Yes, I just picked up git for Windows, and it is atrociously unusable. Brutally atrocious. It's not like Windows is a popular operating system - git shouldn't support it as a first-class citizen. ;)

  Care to elaborate? I've been using the whatever default Windows port that is linked from Git's download page for several months bow and there is nothing atrocious about it. It works well and it does differ much from the Linux version. (edit) The command line version that is.

    The GUI is atrocious. I use the GUI for branch visualization, and, well, I had expected something far better. I use TortoiseHG and I expected parity.

  Most people seem to say that it works just fine. In my limited experience, it was just like git on Linux. Given that git was created for hosting the Linux kernel, it should be obvious why it's not a first-class citizen.

  git gui works wells for me on Windows with msysgit. It's ugly, and there are a good number of small issues, but it definitely provides a reasonable user experience. And of course, the command line option through msysgit is great.

  Git was developed for improving Linux Kernel development. You see why they don't care about Windows, right?

Hmm, there does seem to be a tortoisegit project at http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ ..
