Git works fine under Windows for people who use Cygwin. Portability to
Windows is more about working for users who don't use a shell of any sort
or the "Run..." dialog. I don't know how Mercurial does on that metric,
anyway, but it's a lot more meaningful that the question of whether the
software works in your POSIX environment when the underlying kernel is not
very suitable.
