From a quick Google of the git mailing list traffic, it would appear the getting git into Cygwin is underway, so that might help you, eventually. From a cursory scanning of the various Cygwin threads, it appears to be still getting hashed out (adding Cygwin dependencies, idiosyncrasies of the Cygwin platform on Win32, etc.), but, it bodes well that even Linus has pitched in to offer suggestions and assistance back in October. :)

git-cygwin's repository is linked to from http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/200504-git.html.en . However, the git-cygwin repository link shown there, and as referenced in even the most recent git-cygwin threads, is now 404'd (http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/), so either it has moved, or perhaps something has gone wrong that I don't know about...

I think most patches are already applied to the main git branch. Therefore, git should work-of-the-box on Cygwin (provided you have installed packages like bash, gcc, make, python, libcurl-devel, zlib, tcltk). At least, I can compile git (version: current HEAD) here under current cygwin.
