Thanks for bringing this up, it was actually a more interesting read than this thread. Less trolling, more facts and also interesting to read stuff I didn't happen to know. Like

One of the core differences between Windows and Linux is process creation. It's slower - relatively - on Windows. Since Git is largely implemented as many Bash scripts that run as separate processes, the performance is slower on Windows. We’re working with the git community to move more of these scripts to native cross-platform components written in C, like we did with interactive rebase. This will make Git faster for all systems, including a big boost to performance on Windows.
