I remember back when we were considering whether to move DMD, Phobos
and druntime from SVN on DSource to Git on GitHub, there were some
concerns about using Git on Windows. People claimed that Git was a
very Linux-centric tool, and that Windows support was buggy at best.
Still, we made the switch, and I haven't really registered that many
complaints since. So now I'm curious: Windows users, have you just
resigned, or did Git actually turn out to work well on Windows?
Specifically, is it usable from the CMD command line, and are
graphical front-ends such as TortoiseGit any good? (I know running it
through Cygwin works well, but that doesn't count.)

Git-Extensions works pretty well, especially with its Visual Studio +
PuTTY integration. It uses msysgit under the bonnet IIRC
We mainly use Git-Extensions
http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/
+ openSSH and it works great. You can also
interchange both, Git-Extension and CLI, on the same project. (this
wasn't the case with SVN + TortoiseSVN)
I personally prefer the CLI, you know what you are doing, but most of
the Windows-dev-folks like to use a GUI.
