Just had a weird idea, though after searching looks like I mightn't have 
been the only one in history to have it [1]:

Have you ever tried jgit [2] on windows i.e. that pure java 
reimplementation of git?  It was mostly developed by and for use with 
Eclipse (ugh), but actually has its own little standalone command line 
interface. Not as featureful as real git, but pretty self-contained, it 
looks like it might have just about enough for a reasonable dev workflow 
on its own [3].

This is not a recommendation, I've never used the thing, might be a dead 
end, but OTOH might be worth a look.
