I'm running 1.5.5.rc0 now, but this has been true since I began using git. The only thing google gave me was something about running git-fetch from git-gui in msysGit, which I am not using. Seen this before? Any ideas? Thanks.

On the contrary gitk is causing problems because it loads the whole commit history in the window, and that takes a lot of time over the network. -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/blog/ ```
