I think it is a very cool tool, the only flaw is that I have not found Windows version of it. Does git just aim at Linux kernel development? Is there any plan or in the future to migrate it to windows? Thanks!

And happily enough, there is a Download page at the third site. Oh, and it has a description what its affiliation with git is.
