Yes, indeed. And not only the bash scripts: AFAICT the command line option 
parsing is borked: whatever I do, a

	sh -c "git-config -l"

from cmd does not pick up the option "-l". Which is funny, since a simple 
test program (outputting just the options passed to it) works. And so does 
"git-config -l" from "cmd".

Could you please try making an installer which includes an exe for this 
simple program?

-- snip --
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
                printf("arg %d: %s\n", i, argv[i]);
        return 0;
}

Other than that, I'd go the git-gui way. For this, not only many of the 
tools in MinGW (such as cat, expr, etc., and maybe even perl) are needed, 
but also a wish. Happily, you can download that just fine:

http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/tcltk-8.4.1-1.exe?download

I already made a minimal change to git-gui so you can choose the directory 
to start from.

Ciao,
