Now that 1.5.6.1 has been released I\nwould encourage you to upgrade to the latest stable release of Git.\n\nThe issue was aspell earlier than 0.60 caused git-gui to deadlock\nbecause it didn't understand \"$$cr master\", which git-gui sends\non startup when it launches the background spell checker.\n\nYou can also work around the issue by disabling the spell checker:\n\n\tgit config --global gui.spellingdictionary none\n\n-- \nShawn.\n"},{"id":"82246","messageId":"20080704185610.GT28001@tigger.digitaltorque.ca","threadId":"14175","inReplyTo":"20080702045352.GM11793@spearce.org","subject":"Re: git-gui fails to start","fromName":"Michael P.
