No BLOODY WAY! Git is a pain to use and the tortoise extensions have some serious performance problems when dealing with large repositories. If we are going to DVCS, go to Mercurial, at least that one supports Windows and offers all the same advantages of Git, albeit not at as high of a performance gain as Git because of it being cross platform and not using POSIX features to heavily optimize it. It's still good. In fact, I use Mercurial to check out the latest revisions of ReactOS because SVN has a horrible problem of locking up my computer for hours on end before actually downloading the repository.

Also, even though Git has come a long way, its not quite as easy to use as Mercurial. And if anyone suggest Bazaar, I have one thing to say: Slow Interpreted Performance. It could be better, but it isn't.

If ReactOS's target was UNIX systems, then Git would be okay. But this is a Windows reimplementation. That implies Windows users.
