Cygwin is one option that a number of people use when doing 
cross-platform development. I went the MinGW/MSYS route. I get a GCC 
compiler environment, a bash shell, and a lot of command line *nix programs.

Before MinGW/MSYS I was using some of the command line *nix tools that 
were part of the DJGPP suite. I don't know if there is a git available 
for it as I wasn't even using SVN when I was last using the DJGPP tools. 
It shouldn't be too hard to compile git in that environment.
