Hi, git-gui does not get along with the creativeness in git
versioning:
What version of git-gui? gitgui-0.7.5-67-g91464df and later have
fixes to handle all of the fun cases in git versioning. Like the
one you have here.

git-gui
Error in startup script: expected version number but got "1.5.3.rc2.4.g726f9-dirty"
while executing
"package vcompare $_git_version $vr"
The one coming with the mentioned version number. I suspect that this
may be a matter of the Perl libraries being used: I experience this on
an Ubuntu Dapper, but not on other (newer) systems compiled from the
same source.

Ah. Junio hasn't pulled those version numbering fixes from me yet.
Because I haven't asked him to pull in a while. That explains that.
There's no Perl involved in git-gui, except for the Perl in an
underlying Git command it might invoke. So perhaps you were
talking about Tcl above?
Anyway, you can setup a build with the most recent 'stable
development' version of git-gui:
git checkout -b with-new-gitgui
git pull -s subtree git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git
That's really all Junio does. Although I think he does actually try
to test it briefly before pushing a final release out to the public.
Just to make sure Git hasn't broken anything really obvious in
git-gui. ;-)
