4) git is not ready for Windows yet.  Apparently there are people 
working on making it usable, but it's definitely no where near the 
standards set by the SVN GUIs on Windows.  Monotone or Mercurial seem to 
be much better off in cross-platform support, but none of the new gen of 
scms are really up to the level of SVN or CVS yet for usability and 
ubiquity.
