AFAIK, there's no proprietary/commertial (re-)implementation of Git.
And there appears to be no enterprise which bases its business on
supporting Git *binaries.*  You might be impressed but the whole
Windows port is being put forward by some five *unpaid* folks in their
fscking free time.  Yes, they have over thousand downloads per day and
still the things are as explained.  I, personally, am really puzzled by
this state of affairs (given the ubuquity of Git as a DVCS tool these
days).  In any case, there's a very good description of this situation
provided by one of the folks behind Git for Windows [1].

As to client-side tooling, I do not really understand your reasoning.
If you're not fine with the fact stock Git (and Git for Windows) are
not commercially supported, just buy any commertial client Git front-end
or a tool like this and get commercial support.  Why are you so fixated
on Git itself?  Say, the Github application uses both Git itself and
the libgit2 library (these projects are not related, and are both FOSS),
and this beast *is* commercially supported (if you buy its commercial
flavor) no matter it's based on unsupported tools.  The same applies
to MSVS 2013 for instance: they support Git out of the box--notice the
word support.  It doesn't then really matter for you how exactly they
do that so long it's supported.  Isn't this the very idea of paying for
this support for the support's sake? -- you throw your money at someone
in exchange for not caring about the gory details of your software.
Do you get the idea now?

As to Stash...  I dunno.  If you're an enterprise you will most
certainly want maintaining a reference (blessed) repositories for
all your projects--with access controls, code reviews, bugtracker
intergation and so on and so on, and for that you'll need a Git hosting
solution.  Yes, plain Git can be self-hosting or might be hosted
with the help of a web server or an SSH server, but you will have
zero integration with anything, and yes--no commercial support as well.
And Stash appears to be just that--a turn-key Git hosting solution.
And since you have invested in Atlassian projects, why not invest in
another, enjoying integration with the rest of their tools? (No, I'm
not affiliated with Atlassian in any way--I've just googled for
Atlassian+Git).

(Note that I have no preference for one repo manager or the other, be it 
product or service. We use simple bare repositories accessible over SSH at 
my tiny company, with gitweb as frontend.)

I'm not really sure how such a product should look like -- here's why:
Eclipse already supports Git through its EGit layer (based on the JGit
library).  MSVS 2013 supports Git out of the box; for older versions
you could possibly use Git Extensions.  JIRA has Git integration plugin.
TeamCity appears to support Git as well.  So what are you really
expecting?  A company which would randomly pick these commercial
and free tools you've listed and somehow package it or reimplement and
then support the end result?  This seems like an unlikely scenario, IMO.

As to commercial in-house hosting, Atlassian offers [1] -- does it
qualify?

You know management wants something has an official support. Stash is a 
good idea, since we are going to buy so many other tools from Atlassian.

Ah, management, don't you just love the way they want to spend money so they 
can blame someone else - they understand the price of everything, and the value 
of 'nothing' (FOSS ;-)

AFAIU you /do/ want a GIT repo management tool -- something that
allows you to manage your GIT server, create new repos, set up access
rights, etc.

GIT itself is nothing more than a set of command line tools that
operate on a repo on your local computer.  It is not in and of itself
a client-server application[^1].  One could say it's the client, and
then you need something else to serve up the repos, a webserver.

In other words git is a decentralized vcs and when you need to share your
work with various team members things can turn a little messy, this tools
will help you organizing this things.

This tools work over git, they aren't a add-on.

I also recomend gitlab, they offer two versions comunity edition and
enterprise or something like that.
