Hello
I'm using Git 1.6.3.3 on Mac OS X 10.5.7, installed using MacPorts 1.710
I noticed that Git Gui cannot be launched on an existing repository by simply dragging the repository folder onto Git Gui's icon in the dock, but this is a standard UI feature in OS X.
Here is a fix "Git Gui.app" (which MacPorts installs in /opt/local/share/git-gui/lib) to enable this feature.
The change to Info.plist enables dropping folders onto the application. The modified AppMain.tcl, before launching the application, receives the one pending OpenDocument event and cd's to the repository folder.
