Known issues -Some commands are not yet supported on Windows, namely: git archimport, git cvsexportcommit, git cvsimport, git cvsserver, git instaweb, git shell. -git and bash have serious problems with non-ASCII file names (Issue 80, 159)

There are other known issues, but I think those are the most important.

Git may be disadvantaged more than other systems because single files are not tracked

Though I get what they are trying to tell here ( I know git to an extent), a newbie will definitely be lead down the wrong path with this line. I am doubting this entire thing has any magic at all.
