Last time I tried TortoiseGit, adding a file either didn't work or just crashed hard. Mercurial, on the other hand, just got TortoiseHg 2.0, which is a pleasure to work with.

It is true that git works on Windows, but that doesn't mean it works well.

Just curious, have you ever tried GitCheetah? https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/MSysGit:GitCheetah

I've never experienced the crashes you describe but I've never used Tortoise either. YMMV, I suppose.
