I don't know about Windows but any OS/file-system level ACL system that has more granularity than the usual user/group/other, ought to work fine. The only thing gitolite can add is branch-level permissions, which it doesn't sound like you need. [Of course, I like to think that the config file in gitolite is a much cleaner way of setting, reviewing, changing, and tracking changes of, permissions, but I'm biased ;-)]
