There is a certain irony in noting that one of the perceived weaknesses of git was its poor support for Windows development. It is certainly understandable, but the idea that one of the flagship GNU projects would make a decision based on tool availability for a proprietary operating system gives one pause.

The world is not likely to ever standardize on any One True Operating System, not even if the choice were only between different free operating systems. So choosing a version control system that can demonstratably handle different underlying OS'es makes good technical sense.
