I thought the same before I tried msysgit + TortoiseGit. As for the first, core package, msysgit is a native port, and I must say, it indeed works well. As for the second, TortoiseGit, it's an in-development tool based on TortoiseSVN and is already usable. Yes, it lacks many things, "Not yet implemented" messageboxes are quite often, but, basic needed operations are there, diff/merger are there, and it doesn't look like an abandoned project.

At least, I don't really want to bugfix Mercurial itself if I have a working solution with Git under Windows. And many of you know I'm no fan of cmd line tools :-)

WBR,

Aleksey.

GIT is pretty much unusable for us Windows users. It’s ugly and clunky and goes hand in hand with linux.

HG is much better alternative, if nothing else other than the tortoise shell extension we’re all so accustomed to with TSVN.
It’s a shame it’s problematic to move to at the moment.
