Hello Julian,
> 'Error in startup script: expected version number but got "1.5.3.GIT"'
I get the same error. However it works with released versions of git:
	(faui04a) [~] git gui
	Error in startup script: invalid command name "git-version"
	while executing
	"git-version >= 1.5.3"
	(in namespace eval "::blame" script line 36)
	invoked from within
	"namespace eval $class $body"
	(procedure "class" line 16)
	invoked from within
	"class blame {
	image create photo ::blame::img_back_arrow -data {R0lGODlhGAAYAIUAAPwCBEzKXFTSZIz+nGzmhGzqfGTidIT+nEzGXHTqhGzmfGzifFzadETCVES+VARWDFzWb..."
	(file "/usr/share/git-gui/lib/blame.tcl" line 4)
	invoked from within
	"source [file join $oguilib $p]"
	("foreach" body line 3)
	invoked from within
	"foreach p $idx {

			source [file join $oguilib $p]
			lappend loaded $p
		}"
	invoked from within
	"if {$idx ne {}} {
		set loaded [list]
		foreach p $idx {
			if {[lsearch -exact $loaded $p] >= 0} continue
			source [file join $oguilib $p]
			lappend loa..."
	(file "/usr/bin/git-gui" line 98)
it is because "1.5.3.GIT" is not a number I guess.
