You should try gitextensions, it has much more features and is more stable.

Installing TortoiseGit

On December 12th, Frank Li released TortoiseGit 0.1. When we downloaded this initial release at work, we were underwhelmed:

git log	OK, but not as good as gitk
git commit	Broken

On January 4th, however, Frank Li released TortoiseGit 0.2. He’d been extremely busy:

git log	OK, but not as good as gitk
git commit	OK (except for `add` and `rm`)
git add	Broken (see Bug 6 for workaround)
git rm	Broken
git status	OK
git pull	OK
git push	OK
SSH	OK (tested with PuTTY)
git clone	Always clones to home directory (see Bug 8)
Clean merge	OK
Conflicted merge	Manual, as with command-line tool
Submodules	No support

Basically, TortoiseGit 0.2 is almost usable, and the project is proceeding at a breakneck pace. If you have Windows users that you want to migrate to Git—and who don’t want to use the command-line tool—it’s worth a look.

Installation instructions follow.
