Is there are recommended approach for using git-p4 on Windows? I also tried using the non-Cygwin installations of git, but these don't seem to have any Python support in them, so the git-p4 code won't run at all.

I'm not sure, but the error may not be a cygwin related problem at
all, it could be a pure git-p4 usage issue. Do you have a perforce
workspace set up, and do you have the affected files mapped into your
workspace so git-p4 can run p4 sync on them?

Other than that, git-p4 works excellently with the regular msysgit
too. Just install python the regular way on Windows (under C:\Python27
for example) and add it to your path. This python runs just fine in
the MinGW shell too (I think it picks up any PATH changes you make in
Windows). Then just download the git-p4 python script and make sure it
is in your path. This is how I use it.
