There were several efforts made, but these have fallen by the wayside.
Since then, the mingw/msys port has made progress to the point where
git will use native calls. Most - if not all of this - has been merged
back into upstream git as of version 1.6.
Git works well on Windows and msysGit even provides a native installer
that installs the necessary companion tools and libraries.
Therefore, there is already a native version of Git for Windows that
is always up-to-date with the latest Git functionality (since it is
the same sourcecode!)
BTW: Kudos to everyone involved in the Windows port.
