Tortoisegit and gitsafe aren't exactly in a usable state for betatesters even, let alone end users of the windows variety. Gitextensions is the only truly functional windows-only gui, but it might not be what your users are in need of. Git-gui, though "ugly", actually works quite well. The only things they need to understand are staging changes into the index, committing and pushing... which they would need to understand to use git in any form. What type of files are these users working with? If it's plain text, you could have them do their commits online with github's inline file editing.
You also might want to keep an eye on my little project, fugit: http://github.com/tekkub/fugit/ <http://github.com/tekkub/fugit/tree/master> My goal here is to reproduce all the good things about git-gui and gitk, then expand it with other handy things lacking from those apps or poorly implemented in them. Currently you need ruby and gem to install it, but I do plan on having a normal installer for users that don't have ruby. The app should be easily portable to linux and mac as well.
