Pratyush,

The program freeze before the main window appears.
As far as I can see from the strace log "tcl" is waiting for something
to happen.
I think "tcl" is waiting for the output from a git command.

If the strace log does not give you any useful information, what do you suggest
I do to track the bug down? Has git-gui got any logging build in that I can
activate via an option e.g "-debug" or by setting an environment variable?

If not can you suggest anything that would be useful?

I installed 18.04 on my laptop, and the bug also showed up here.
The machines have very little in common, except that they
both have a SSD disk.
