There are already several guis for git. None of them covers complete git
functionality, but if you can start adding functionality to one of them
instead of starting from scratch, it would give you a good head start. At
least the git-gui (in Tcl/Tk, part of git distribution) and qgit4
(git://repo.or.cz/qgit4.git, discuss changes on the git mailing list -- se
also http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/, but that only discusses the
previous Qt3-based branch) work on Windows.

Search the list. The archive at http://marc.info/?l=git provides quite
sensible search support. There were some interesting discussions about
perforce in last few months.
