git works on all Unix-likes (including Linux and OS X) fine by command line. It will also likely work in Cygwin without much trouble (again, on the command line). There are Windows GUIs available for git as well, which are apparently somewhat usable, but they didn't seem as polished as Mercurial's last I checked. I don't know about the others being discussed.
Git AFAIR even has a native commandline client on Windows. Which has some problems: a) speed, it is slower than on *nix b) the commandconsole itself, cmd.exe is bitrotten from down to top, look at command history for excellent examples. not everyone has the SFU installed. c) AFAIR(!) it doesn't support all commands of *nix git
Cygwin of course is the other possibility, but here applies the problem of speed and the work amount needed to install it. It can really suck to get a working cygwin environment...
