Is this still true? if so isn't it a problem? Well, given the fact that the Qt devs are certainly working on windows with git and my own experience I think most of that information is simply outdated. Git on windows is slower than on linux currently, that however might even be the difference of filesystems, but other than that I haven't found anything that didn't work that you usually use "everyday". Except maybe (yeah there's always an exception ;) that cloning a local repository on your disk might need the git-bash-shell instead of the standard windows cmd.exe. I never looked closer at why that sometimes doesn't work though.
