There is msysGit. This project is nearing to its first beta, being self-hosted since mid-August IIRC. It is a port of Git to MinGW, using parts of MSys as long as we have dependencies on bash and perl. I have no doubt that we'll manage to finish version 0.3 of the installer this week, still not decided if it is still alpha or already beta. There are some issues with using msysGit, none of them really serious, but you better be ready to ask questions on this list or #git in case something crops up. msysGit is young. Having said that, IMHO msysGit is already quite usable, and should be pretty stable within a few weeks (if it is not already).
