I'm using both Windows and Linux/Solaris. Since I've used
git on both unixes, I've been waiting for a native/mingw port.

You may have realized by now that the git community has
created quite an addictive product: with a Windows port,
the door is open to many things, gui based or not...

I'll start some c++ projects soon, and for them I'm stuck
on a Windows machine (corporatism...). I'm sure I'm not
alone in this kind of situation...

With this recent port, I'm convinced I'll progress faster:
"foo" branches is to my mind _the_ feature of git.

Thanks Linus and all for taking into account this suggestion!
:)
