I can't speak to the "poor Windows support", but I've been compiling both in MacPorts (pretty much every MacPorts release, which is like weekly) and from the kernel.org repo (intermittently, 1-3 months apart) on Mac OS X since git 0.99 and the only trouble is with the documentation (and the never-ending stream of bugs in port and/or the Portfile, of course). I doubt this is a problem on Mac OS X any more, if it ever was.

Well, when I decided to compile git from scratch on OS X when Neil posted the git mirror it took bloody forever thanks to the docs having an insane build requirement.
