Word on the street is Git is better at managing large binary files than Hg.
Though I find GitHub harder to use with the ssh keys and puttygen.
It's slightly beyond me.
I usually get the message that "git did not exit cleanly whenever I push to it.
Been pushing to dropbox, skydrive(oneDrive), and googleDrive instead.

Well, I've used git on both Linux and Windows, and I find it a lot easier to use on a native linux shell.

In fact, a lot of his stuff, ssh included, seems to be easier in Linux.

There is a program called "git bash", though, that emulates a limited set of linux functionality in Windows. Including git itself, and some basic bash command-line, including the amazing vim text editor.

There's also Github for Windows, which is meant to handle all the things git does with a simple GUI front-end.

In the end, though, git definitely works best on Linux. After all, Git was made by Linus Torvalds--the same guy who made Linux.
