Git GUI crashes every time it opens a repository

Question

Since few days ago, every time I start Git GUI in a repository, it displays this horrifying error message and quits after I click OK:

prepare-commit-msg hook fai         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The solution which worked for me was almost same as the one suggested by XandrGuard

c:\msysgit\bin>rebase.exe -b 0x50000000 msys-1.0.dll

Solution is explained here http://jakob.engbloms.se/archives/1403

For me solution was slightly different. It was

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin>rebase.exe -b 0x50000000 msys-1.0.dll

Hope it helps people who are trying to google the problem
