On Windows, in a good old command window (your usual cmd.exe), step 1. could be translated to:

for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4" %a in ('git fsck --unreachable ^| find "commit"') do @if "%c"=="inatteignable" (@git log --merges --no-walk %d) else (@git log --merges --no-walk %c)
or, really, keep it simple with alias git='LANG=en_GB git' instead.
