If you want to use git with windows, here's what you need to do. This is assuming you'll be using the windows command prompt to enter commands.

1. Go to http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list and download the latest Windows build of Git (at the time of writing the latest one is Git-preview20080301.exe)
2. Double click the install file - make sure the 'Run git from the windows command prompt' option is selected
3. Finish the installation and open a command prompt
4. To clone a remote repository, type git clone ssh://git_username@git_host/path/to/repos local_repos_dir

It's the last step that had me stumped for a while. There's no colon after the git_host and it seems to need ssh:// at the start.
