Are you using TortoiseGit? If so, you might have read my guide: http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/wiki/HOWTO_CentralServerWindowsXP I mention the guide only to say that I don't update it any more, and the reason for that is that I now pretty much only use the tools that come standard with git, via the git bash shell (on WinXP), using gitk and git gui as necessary. I wrote this StackOverflow post in response to a question about git limitations on Windows, but I also discuss a basic workflow using the bash shell: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3313561/what-are-the-limitations-of-git-on-windows/3313897#3313897
