The big issue for git and windows (in general) is that there is a 255
character limit on the paths for files .... I recently pruned some file
names for Metacello (on a win-hack branch) just to get Metacello to work
with filetree ..
Working with Github Desktop[1] for Windows makes the experience of using
git from the command line tolerable on Windows - you get a retty nice
bash shell to work with so as a non-windows user I can work in a pretty
familiar environment ...
At the moment I'm working with Pharo3.0 on Windows, so I don't have any
useful feedback right now (assuming things have changed a bit on Windows
with Pharo4.0 and Pharo5.0) ...

Probably because everyone gives up on gitfiletree after ten minutes
and switch to regular filetree.
I think that none of the developers of Git in Pharo / gitfiletree use
Windows, so some new who knows both Git and Windows well would need to
come around at look into it. Or someone new who is interested in it
enough that is willing to spend his time understanding it and then
fixing it.
