Starting it with no parameters (`git-gui` or `git gui`) should
work just fine. I do this all of the time on Mac OS X and Windows,
as it opens a commit window and keeps it running.

According to this backtrace, we were trying to startup the UI
and load the branches, but:
git for-each-ref --format=%(refname) refs/heads
returned a non-zero exit code or something else with it went wrong.
Is this maybe a brand new repository? This is most certainly a bug
in git-gui, but I'd like to understand more about the environment
so I can track it down.
