I've read that msysgit (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/) works well.
 From http://garrys-brain.blogspot.com/2008/04/git-for-windows-msysgit.html
:

"""
I would say Git For Windows is very close to being "ready" and
providing you are not in need of the more difficult corner cases it is
ready for production use. The guys working on it have done a great
job.
"""

I can't vouch for this information, so it would be great to hear from
someone who tried it themselves.

Cheers
