I don't know about Windows but any OS/file-system level ACL system
that has more granularity than the usual user/group/other, ought to
work fine.

The only thing gitolite can add is branch-level permissions, which it
doesn't sound like you need.

[Of course, I like to think that the config file in gitolite is a much
cleaner way of setting, reviewing, changing, and tracking changes of,
permissions, but I'm biased ;-)]
