Lies.

I've been using it daily for about a month and a half now.  I've got
both TortoiseGIT and msysGit installed.  Both were installed with
regular Windows installers that required me to click "Next" a few times
and maybe a "Finish" or two.

You DO NOT need to run Git from inside a weird shell or anything; git
commands work directly from the standard sucky Windows command-line.
And it appears to be quite fast, too.  Hell, it seems to be even faster
than svn.

It's beautiful and I'm now looking to convert my existing projects in
svn over to Git because it's just so much better.
