I keep my Windows and other repos entirely independent of one another.
Typically, I do commit new work from Windows though, as that's where I
mostly develop, and patches from OSX, as that's more convenient for
testing other people's work.

I don't use git from inside VC++ - but if you want astyle to be run
prior to every commit, then I'll want a batch file or something that's
easy to remember to call (note, if it's a batch file, it's easy to add
as a pre-build step - though it may be annoying if it changes
anything).

Or, we could just do it the PostgreSQL way - try to get it right
throughout the cycle, and then have a pgindent run prior to release to
be sure.
