So, Windows support then? And most mobile devices will be able to access the files through the browser, no need for a client to do that, like with Dropbox.

I love the idea and the hackyness over it all. Love it!

Git clients exist for iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux. There's 98% of the computing world right there.
