For all practical effects, there is nothing *nixy about Git on Windows (as implemented by MSYSGit) You can use git.exe from a Windows command prompt and you are not required to use the *nixy tools that comes with the MSYSGit package. Second, there are some great Emacs front-ends for git you can use on Windows (Magit) and Emacs own VC works fine. Even if that java tool is compatible with git's command-line options required by Emacs (something I doubt) using it from Emacs would be damn slow, unless it supports some type of server functionality where a single instance serves multiple requests.
