So you are using an inconvenient setup because you are afraid of hypothetical problems and refuse to switch to an alternative, convenient setup because you are afraid of other, even more hypothetical problems? :-) I'm using MSYSGit + VC + Magit on Windows for several years and it never caused a single data-loss issue. At the very beginning, long time ago, I had problems with line-endings but then MSYSGit was "fixed". OTOH I have a hack on my .emacs to prevent Emacs + Bzr from garbling the commit messages. Something related to character encodings.
