I use git in cygwin for a project with more then 17k files (almost 6M lines). It's real slow on ntfs (on 3.2Mhz PIV!), PITA on fat, and has some hiccups now and then (of the kind: "windows unexpectedly does not have feature X, which everything else has" or "windows broke a 20-year-old feature Y").

But its more intuitive and more powerful than any alternatives here (Perforce, SVN and CVS come to mind).
