I'm happy to make changes in git-gui to help users who are trying to use Git without Cygwin, and are on Windows. Patches would be even more welcome of course. ;-) Most of git-gui tries to stay away from shell scripts, partly for this reason, and partly because its Porcelain and shouldn't depend on the stock Porcelain-ish that comes with Git. Oh, and shell scripts on Cygwin aren't speed-demons. :-) -- Shawn.
