I think this was fixed in gitgui-0.10.2, which did not ship with
Git proper until 1.5.6-rc0.  Now that 1.5.6.1 has been released I
would encourage you to upgrade to the latest stable release of Git.

The issue was aspell earlier than 0.60 caused git-gui to deadlock
because it didn't understand "$$cr master", which git-gui sends
on startup when it launches the background spell checker.

You can also work around the issue by disabling the spell checker:

	git config --global gui.spellingdictionary none
