[Eric] error using git

Tue May 7 17:49:35 BST 2019

Hi Ian,

this sounds really strange. However, I must admit, that the git support is not 
as heavily tested as the Mercurial support because the later is the VCS used 
for eric and its plug-ins. Maybe some other user here on the list may have 
some ideas.

Regards,
Detlev
