Plus they need one that works in MS Windows...

Of course, I don't have any personal experience, but apparently both jgit and http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ are considered almost useful.
But, if they switch to Mercurial, I know at least about one friend who would be the most happy man in the world (he suffers under TFS).
So, go Microsoft!

Msysgit is just a ported version of git. We use it here all the time, works like a charm.

One of the advantages of hg is that it can mangle windows and unix line endings so that linux and windows people can work together easily. Does this work for you in git or is it not an issue for your project?

It works OK in git. Though we did have some problems when it was not turned on at the beginning.

Same here. The only real problem is that git-svn is sloooooooow on Windows. Also gitk and git gui are very nice tools that work exactly the same on Linux and Windows.

BTW anything will be a tremendous improvement over SourceSafe.
VSS is only for peasants Posted Sep 8, 2010 12:03 UTC (Wed) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Internally Microsoft uses modified version of Perforce called "Source Depot". VSS is just not capable enough. Perhaps they plan to make Hg capable enough and switch to it - simple self-serving reason, not a deep nefarious plan...

VSS is unsuitable for any purpose, AFAIAC.
