I plan to migrate my projects over to git, and I'm currently wondering which is the best and / or most stable option under windows.

From what I gather I basically have 2.5 options:

  1. MSYSgit
  2. git under Cygwin
  3. (aka 2.5) MSYSgit from a Cygwin prompt (given that Cygwin git is already installed).

Note: IMO Cygwin in itself is a big plus as you can have access to pretty much all the *nix command line tools, as where with MSYSgit bash, you only have access to a rather small subset of these tools.

Given that, what option would you suggest?
