I will be another one to say mention another alternative for you:
git-cvsserver. However, given the other choices people had already
given, and that git-cvsserver may be another needed setup and may not
serve the purpose of using git if given write access, I think you should
go with the altenatives for using git in Windows. Or you may change
your platform.  :-)
