Cygwin? Both git and Mercurial packages seem to exist, although I don't
use them so can't say how good, bad, or otherwise, they might be.
git's private version of cygwin does not play nicely with an existing cygwin 
installation. git can be used with windows - if you don't use anything else as 
well. Hg still needs a number of updates on it's eclipse plugin to handle 
sub-repo's and a similar problem affects git's. Response from those development 
teams - stick with cvs or svn if you are using 'modular' projects.


TortoiseHg does a good job layered outside eclipse on both windows and linux, 
but this is well outside the 'php' area of discussion ;) Although providing a 
stable development platform for php development is probably of interest.

FWIW while I prefer Eclipse overall as an IDE, I found the PHP support in
NetBeans to be superior. It's been a year since I used Eclipse for PHP.
Maybe the PHP plugins for Eclipse have improved enough. NetBeans supports
GIT and Mercurial as well.
