Have you considered jumping in to help on the msys git port Johannes
Schindelin is working? He has very generously offered to do
essentially everything except find bugs, the latter because he does
not actually use Windows so can't, and is clearly putting a great deal
of effort into this. A stable and complete Windows port may be much
closer than you think.
