BTW, here is the callstack inlined from the crashreport:

bsystem_platform.dylib 0x00007fff840db41c _platform_strchr$VARIANT$Haswell + 28 1 git 0x000000010ba1d3f4 ident_default_email + 801 2 git 0x000000010ba1d68f fmt_ident + 66 3 git 0x000000010ba4b495 files_log_ref_write + 175 4 git 0x000000010ba4b0a6 commit_ref_update + 106 5 git 0x000000010ba4c3a8 ref_transaction_commit + 468 6 git 0x000000010b994dd8 s_update_ref + 271 7 git 0x000000010b994556 fetch_refs + 1969 8 git 0x000000010b9935f2 fetch_one + 1913 9 git 0x000000010b992bc4 cmd_fetch + 549 10 git 0x000000010b9666c4 handle_builtin + 478 11 git 0x000000010b96602f main + 376 12 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff834ef5ad start + 1

Maybe someone else has an idea what might be causing this...
