Hello Everybody,
Hope this is the right place to send this bug report.

It just appeared today, last time I've made a successful commit was 3 days ago. Now every commit, in no matter which repository I have (I've tried old ones, cloned today, github ones etc) fails with the following message.

[master 09-mapas] git commit fatal: could not read 'template': No such file or directory

It happens both with the stock git binary that came with Xcode 4.1 on OSX Lion (1.7.4.4) [/usr/local/bin/git], and the homebrew version (1.7.6) [/usr/bin/git].

I haven't changed much of my system during those days besides installing macports and tinycdb (with ports). Don't see any close relation, both tinycdb and macports were removed.

Curiously, it works well with the git binary that comes with Github.app for mac, whose version is 1.7.4.
