Hello,
 Since I use git on windows (without cygwin), I am keen to know if 'git+ssh' protocol work with Putty's plink? plink is a ssh like client on windows with almost similar features.

As long as you actually remember to add the keys to Plink, it works
perfectly fine. I've been using it in the last few releases, which do
ask you whether you want to use OpenSSH or PuTTY already in the
installation program.
