Yes, I'm using Git on Cygwin on real repositories. My largest there is about 60 MiB, ~70,000 objects, 10,000 files. Myself and about 25 others who are required to use Windows use it every day just fine.

I also use HTTP fetch to download the latest git.git changes so I can build them locally (I don't use the Cygwin package, I compile it myself from scratch) but I haven't done a clone over HTTP in ages as I already have a local git.git clone established in a few locations. I'd build any new clone from my existing local ones first...
