Mercurial, which is similar to GIT, offer native windows client. See 
there 
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/BinaryPackages#head-adac70dc1664bb9eac334d5c8b57483d300254f3

It support binaries for most of PG supported platforms.

I also recommend to see following page

It compares a lot of SCMs.
