Comment (by stevenwei):

 This has been reported in a few other places:

 os-x-sierra

 https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/853

 Seems related to a broken version of Tk 8.5 that shipped with Sierra. I
 worked around this by installing Tk 8.6.6 via MacPorts, and then
 reinstalling Git:
 {{{
 sudo port uninstall git
 sudo port install tk
 sudo port install git
 }}}
 So far it seems to be working again.
