Did you install the msysgit development environment, or the git exe?

A little trouble, yes, though that's better in recent versions.

git on Windows is surely not as fast as it is on GNU/Linux, but are
you saying that it is slower than bzr (or cvs) for you?

And that's a problem because...? You don't have to install Cygwin
(which I hate). What does matter how msysgit works internally?

I agree with that, and certainly it's a bit absurd the sheer number of
options most commands have. But you can do serious work with git using
a tiny fraction of that complexity (I do, and I've just used the
simplest of git tutorials).
That said, every DVCS is an acquired taste; I don't think bzr's
command set is that elegant, either (though it is definitely simpler).

Come that day, perhaps will all be using darcs ;-)
