OK, thanks for sorting out.
But I'll look into it and better catch that situation myself. The user should 
get a regular message box and be able to continue without Git support.
(Git support isn't documented yet, but when available it allows you to switch 
between different branches (= development versions) and will soon allow you to 
automatically update Frescobaldi through Git).
