I don't have issues finding a program for git but one for hg.
Looks nice though, especially the DAG reminds me of an idea

Setting-up Git on Windows can be a mildly PITA, so I wish you good luck.
There's a commercial tool http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/index.html
that some people like but IMHO it's too Java.
