Others have pointed out the EOL issue, which I should have jumped on having seen it in CVS. So the third partition is not a good idea, assuming this EOL issue is the underlying problem. Just to answer your question then- While having a third partition is not fundamentally different from having Linux mount your windows partition in a dual-boot situation, I thought it might make it easier to avoid Windows from doing whatever-it-does behind the scenes. I have a Win7 build VM and it drives me nuts changing things without being asked - so maybe just my anti-win32 bias there.
Interesting that you don't like the Github gui. Thats an opinion to file away, some of my developers like using a GUI, and they are going to have to start using Git this year.
