Bug Description

From within present working directory that is a git repository I did:
gitg &

I was then going to click on a log entry to inspect what the changeset had brought in but gitg exited and provided the error that I am not reporting.

I had rebooted my PC about 10 minutes before this. Prior to that I had completed a distribution upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 via the using the `do-release-upgrade -d` command. Before the upgrade I had been regularly using gitg to view git log data and generate git commits for this repository.
