Hm, that leaves me even more mystified. Before v1.7.4-rc0~155^2~4 (git-gui: generic version trimming, 2010-10-07), git-gui was not able to handle "git version" output like "git version 2.16.2.windows.1", but since then, it should have been able to cope fine with it. I wonder: do you have multiple versions of git gui installed? Thanks, Jonathan
