git: git-gui crashing

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

This happens reproducibly on Sierra 10.12.1:

but worked on Mavericks and El Capitan.

The only difference there is, that git gui starts on Sierra with the warning message:

Spell checking is unavailable:

No word lists can be found for the langueage "en_US".

It shortly displays the gui's dialog before it crashes.
