First up, I'm not sure you need git installed for monodevelop to work. I think they ported it all over from JGit (was a test run for sharpen, which later ported all of Android to C#. Seriously: https://github.com/xamarin/XobotOS )
Personally - and this is not the fault of MD - I tend to use an external client for source control - either the commandline or something like Tower (http://www.git-tower.com/) or SourceTree (http://www.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/overview) That said, I did just try it (Version control -> Check out. Paste in my URL and select a folder to put it in) and it happly cloned a public repository. Sounds a bit odd otherwise. I can change a file, which changes the icon for the file. I have (on windows, no less!) everything enabled in the version control menu. I can right click on a file and see version control options. I can select Version Control -> Review Solution changes to see changes I've made (and commit them).... Can you include some screenshots?
