There's a git bash with msysgit which is probably more limited than
cygwin's one but decent enough. About the tools you can install
something like https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow/wiki or
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net.

To be honest most of the time I just use the *nix tools from the
windows command line, and jump into git bash for more advanced stuffs
when necessary.
