msysgit has been really stable for us. However the team working on it does seem to be very small (and we're very grateful to them). If they were to move off the project, who knows what would happen. So far so good though.

We have hit a bug in gitk where our repo has so many changes that gitk on Windows won't show them all, whereas on a Mac it will. Something to do with the command line length limit on Windows. We'll see whether it gets fixed or not. Still, there's TortoiseGit which works and offers an alternate UI.

I would recommend it, with the caveat that you also look into Mercurial, which is perhaps better supported on Windows.
