Well, I don't know of many people using the original git on windows.
Most of them using some graphical third-party tools.

The main git suite is most often used on linux where a colon is a valid
character For example using /mnt/c: as mount path for windows file
systems or /bla/foo/dated_repository_2016-12-10_12:00.git for dated and
timed repositories.

My btrfs snapshot dir looks like:
   ~snapshot> l -gGhN
   [...]
   drwxr-x--x 1 296 2016-07-30T13:55 daily_2016-12-10_00:00:01.270213478
   drwxr-x--x 1 296 2016-07-30T13:55 hourly_2016-12-10_05:00:01.372037552
   [...]

Compared to the backslash, although it is a perfect legal character in
POSIX file systems, I do not know any use of it.
