I'm assuming that the primary functionality they want via their IDE is checkout/diff/commit/log. Quite a lot of Windows developers have no problems using multiple tools for things, I'd assume they would also be able to use any existent port of git (to Windows) to do the esoteric things like branching/bisect/etc. Anand
