In previous years there was concern about how well supported git was on Windows in comparison to Mercurial. However git has grown to support Windows as a first class citizen. In addition to that, for Windows users who are not well aquanted with the Windows command line there are GUI options as well.
I have little opinion on the PEP as a whole, but is the above statement true? From the git website, version 2.2.0 is current, and yet the downloadable Windows version is still 1.9.4. That's a fairly significant version lag for a "first class citizen". I like git, and it has a number of windows-specific extensions that are really useful (more than Mercurial, AFAIK), but I wouldn't say that the core product supported Windows on an equal footing to Linux.
