the mingw git worked flawlessly for me (and will be certainly a lot less of hassle, if one tries to remain cygwin-free). their version of git-gui also works (i didn't test it extensively).

featuring an installer as well ;-)

as for darcs, look here:

the darcsdir-w32 works fine without cygwin, just supply wget or curl ..

If you have trouble you may also want to try the #darcs chat channel on
irc.freenode.net.. Those people want to help if they can.

You should also be able to find some info on haskell.org/ghc (use the search)
because of the recent discussion about switching to git for ghc
developement. By the way the cygwin git version did work best for me
(due to file permissions.. git gui does'nt work though - maybe I've
missed some options as well?)
