I find it strange that he calls msysGit a good solution on Windows.
My personal Windows machine has Cygwin, MSYS (for MinGW), and MSVC's own command line (based on cmd.exe), so that I can use each of those three compilers for compatibility testing my projects. With msysGit my experience has not been good at all; patching git into each of the evironments always seems to require some manual work on my part, despite msysGit's claim that it can put just the git binaries on PATH.
So quite frankly, I do not think the current Windows situation for git is adequate, as it has (in my experience) integrated poorly with various command line environments.
