I found the same information, I suspect.  However, now I look again I
find this <http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/WindowsInstall> which sounds more
encouraging.  (I guess if Mercurial really can incrementally import
and export git, then that might be an OK workaround, since I believe
Mercurial's better supported on Windows.)
