It looks like your problem is using cygwin. It's more complicated on a MS-Windows environment, and personally I think it's a _very bad idea_.

Git is really easy to use in fact, you just set up the repo with:

  mkdir repo.git
  cd repo.git
  git init --bare --shared=all

--shared=all makes the repo readable to anyone, and ensures push rights to users under the same group as the user setting up the repo. You can change the group with chmod of course.

SSH access will be needed to push, unless the users can remotely mount the repo via NFS or any other protocol.

Pulling is possible over http too, you just need to make hooks/post-update executable. To export via git protocol you must create an empty file named "git-daemon-export-ok".

Besides setting a web repo browser and git-server there's nothing else specific to git.
