I suspect http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850445.aspx#remote_3rd_party_connect_clone should get you started.

As far as I can tell from #git, every once in a while people seem to want to escape from GUIs to have control over what they're doing (for example when cleaning up existing commits, or when performing a complex merge). You can find a usable commandline version of Git for Windows at http://msysgit.github.io/ (and the same project has a TortoiseSVN-like explorer plugin called GitCheetah if you need that).

Hope that helps, Jonathan
