That project provides an easy installer that have all you need to run git
(in 10MB, I wonder how much software is available for Windows with an
installer of only 10MB).

Why do you care if it installs some "Unix emulation layer" (which are just
some tools common in Unix OS, is not that Git runs in a VM or something)?
You don't even need to install it if you don't want, you can use the
"portable app" package =)

It does works on Windows.
