I never understood why
users on Windows want to use something as POSIX'y as git.git.
Plenty of users on Windows use a command line. I have even been such
a user from time to time. I'm quite grateful for Dscho et al's work
on making that less painful.

I agree completely. It's rare that I use Windows now, but a few years
ago I installed Cygwin on any machine that I would use in any serious
capacity. I haven't needed to do this since I started to use Git; the
Windows installer ships all of the POSIX utilities that I need (with the
possible exception of 'tree', and the caveat that scp can't handle files
>= 2GB).
I'm very appreciative of the work that's gone in to Git for Windows, and
from my perspective it's a pleasant coincidence that it includes a POSIX
shell and associated tools.
