There's also a TortoiseGit.

That said, I'm acquainted with a Windows guy who's used to TortoiseSVN and
stubbornly refuses to switch to git. (He tried it and didn't like it.) And
he likes to make changes on the production server.

As a heavy Git user, my opinion about TortoiseGot is extremely negative.
I recently had to try TortoiseGit for another team member who is not so fluent in the command line and I think that it is a horrible abomination. It makes Git look bad and more complex than it is. I have been using Git for years and I like to think I know its ins and out; yet, I couldn't figure out how to do simple things with TortoiseGit.
