Looking at the shell script, what it does is create the new work
directory and a .git dir within it, and then symbolically links all
important files/directories from the original repository's .git
directory into the new .git dir, using ln -s. The HEAD link is copied
rather than symlinked.
So, from Windows this will probably work if "ln -s" does something
reasonable and all the underlying stuff your version of git uses deals
with symlinks properly. (This wasn't always a reasonable assumption
under Windows in the past. You would know better than me what the
current state of symlinks on Windows is.)
