As far as I know, git --daemon is explicitly not supported in Windows environments. At least that was the case not too long ago.
If you're running git --daemon because of its efficiency, have you considered the fact that [smart-http][] is almost as efficient? That should work in any http server, a plethora of which exist for Windoze.
Also, file system cloning is very efficient so if you're trying to share a repository you could in theory share over the file system using filesystem permissions to allow for cloning.
Just food for thought.
