The big issue for git and windows (in general) is that there is a 255 character limit on the paths for files .... I recently pruned some file names for Metacello (on a win-hack branch) just to get Metacello to work with filetree ..

Working with Github Desktop[1] for Windows makes the experience of using git from the command line tolerable on Windows - you get a retty nice bash shell to work with so as a non-windows user I can work in a pretty familiar environment ...

At the moment I'm working with Pharo3.0 on Windows, so I don't have any useful feedback right now (assuming things have changed a bit on Windows with Pharo4.0 and Pharo5.0) ...

There are many windows users,

there are NOT many windows + git users.

Probably because everyone gives up on gitfiletree after ten minutes and switch to regular filetree.

I think that none of the developers of Git in Pharo / gitfiletree use Windows, so some new who knows both Git and Windows well would need to come around at look into it. Or someone new who is interested in it enough that is willing to spend his time understanding it and then fixing it.
