If you think "[it] is not working" is a valid error description, then
this page isn't for you.  As the first section says

  msysGit is the development environment to compile Git for Windows. [...]
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  msysGit is not Git for Windows [...]
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  It is easy to see the difference: the installers for Git have the
  prefix Git-, the msysGit installers have the prefix
  msysGit-. [...]

You most likely want to install

 http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.7.0.2-preview20100309.exe&can=2&q=

and then read a *Git* tutorial such as

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html
  http://book.git-scm.com/
  http://progit.org/

That being said, I can't find any dead links on the wiki page.

Ah well, reading the list forward instead of backward would have
enlightened me that there indeed was an outage at git.wiki.kernel.org.
