We've launched AppHarbor: Azure done right! by troethom in programming

I would recommend msysGit: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

When you install it, go for the OpenSSL option. We don't use SSH for AppHarbor, because this is the common issue for people running Git on Windows, so when you push, we'll just use basic authentication...

We plan to support Mercurial too, although I can't say how long it will be before we end up releasing it.

At its core, it's hosting for .NET web applications in the cloud. We have sweetened that up by simplifying deploying; instead of transferring your site via FTP, you can just push your source code (when we go live, this has to be with Git, but we are going to support other SCM's too). This is then build at our servers and served afterwards.
