POSIX emulation layers aren't a problem, it's the user experience that matters in the end. On Windows, I've used SVN extensively, Mercurial a few times, and git even less. My impression is that git is still not nearly as nice on Windows as Mercurial or Subversion -- I don't think it has the fancy context-menu integration and so on. (Does it? I haven't checked lately, so I might be outdated.) If we switched to git, we might annoy some TortoiseSVN users by forcing them to switch to less convenient software.
The impression I've gotten is that Windows integration with msysgit is at least partway there now, and has improved *hugely* in the last couple years. I haven't tried it myself yet though (and would certainly not push it on everybody without doing so first!)
It's _ok_. The command line usage is pretty solid and I haven't encountered any issues there. The GUI interface sucks and is a complete waste of time.
