As a console application I have had no problems using git on windows.  The only complaint I have heard about git on windows is that its a console application.  What specific issues are you talking about?

I don't know, reading that just made me think you guys were working
really hard to justify a position rather then make a decision.  I found
the comparison in the git-svn doc[1] gave a more compelling argument for

equivalent to the github network graph visualizer[2]?
