Adds PowerShell extensions to GitHub for Windows to enable GitFlow source code management

Description

This script adds support for PowerShell GitFlow to GitHub for Windows. The GitFlow concept and core scripts were developed by nvie. The cheatsheet and script offered here is a modified version of one developed by Howard van Rooijen and documented in a fantastic series of blog posts about using GitHub with TeamCity.

Run git flow init to initialize the repository for GitFlow.
Review the One-Page GitFlow Cheatsheet to learn the commands.
