The msysgit home page reinforces that impression 
(http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/):

"Once you installed msysGit, git will be compiled and the repository 
will be fetched, so you are good to go. Play with git a little, and you 
will find plenty of stuff that is not quite optimal."

Nonetheless, it's come a very long in the past year or so, and it sounds 
as though in another six months or so, there may not be much to complain 
about.
