How serious are you guys about Windows support? I'm talking fully-functional port, not Cygwin. I did a lot of searching for a new SCM to switch to (from Perforce). And Git is my #1 choice. I love it's internals design and it's expressive power. I've also tested git-p4 and it has worked like a charm with my depot (with few tweaks that I may contribute later). But I do all my work on Windows so I need Git-For-Windows-Done-Right :-). The current mingw port is not there yet.

Transition to the new SCM must happen now, so basically I have 2 choices:
1. Survive for a few months with the current CygWin port of Git
knowing that Windows support is coming
2. Use another SCM (#2 is Mercurial, #3 is Monotone)

I'd realy love to do #1, but I need to know how long do I have to wait.
