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 ..
The limit is actually 260 characters. Not that it helps much :-) However, there's a way (well, hack) to overcome this limit using special UNC pathnames like \\?\C:\very\long\path\here or \\?\UNC\server\share\very\long\path.
This hack is now implemented in the latest squeak and pharo vm.
The "only" issue is that not all tools in the chain are using this hack...
