Problem running git-gui

From: Julian Phillips <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:21

I have a machine on which git was installed from a tarball created by 
running git-archive on master (so a 1.5.3ish version).

When I try running git-gui I get an error message:

'Error in startup script: expected version number but got "1.5.3.GIT"'

followed by what I assume is a code snippet where it failed (I wouldn't 
know tcl if it hit me with a large brick).

Is this expected? driver error? or maybe a bug?
