First of all, I object against the FUD on the blog post [1]. For all
practical effects, there is nothing *nixy about Git on Windows (as
implemented by MSYSGit) You can use git.exe from a Windows command
prompt and you are not required to use the *nixy tools that comes with
the MSYSGit package.
Second, there are some great Emacs front-ends for git you can use on
Windows (Magit) and Emacs own VC works fine. Even if that java tool is
compatible with git's command-line options required by Emacs (something
I doubt) using it from Emacs would be damn slow, unless it supports some
type of server functionality where a single instance serves multiple
requests.
