I just found this project and was wondering if it can support Windows
or just UNIX? I know the support for Git right now on windows is
still maturing. Thanks!

The initial plan is to just provide a wrapper around the Git CLI - so
Windows support for the NB plugin has all the same limitations as the
git CLI binary.
There is a project out there (MSysGit) that you can check out:
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

I know a lot of improvements have been made recently. I'd love to know
how it works for Windows users?

Further down the road, there is a pure Java Git library (JGit),
developed by Shawn Pearce, and used by his EGit Eclipse plugin.
Unfortunately, it only supports a subset of the git commands
available at the moment, although I believe its progressing...

I haven't been able to dedicate as much time as I would like over the
last few weeks to this project, so its good to know there is still
interest!
