My friend looked into porting git to Win32 natively and abandoned the effort because Git uses a ton of UNIX-isms, from fork() to sh scripts.

I read that git was written to intentionally use every trick available in Linux for performance. Mercurial has similar features, but it's much more agreeable to cross-platform work. Mozilla uses it.
