Is this on a local file system?

TextMate won’t do badges on a remote file system since getting status require hashing files, effectively sending content of all files over the network.

Just a general FYI the default window title also contain SCM branch and project folder, if either exist. So for most users, there should be no need to manually set windowTitle.

Do they work via ⌘Y? IOW if you press ⌃⇧P in a file, do you see ‘attr.scm.git’ in the tool tip?

If so, TextMate does pick up that your project is tracked by git but just doesn’t run the required commands to get badges and branch automatically. This could either be because it can’t find your git executable (e.g. TM_GIT is set to a bogus value) or because you’re on a remote/special file system.
