(Sorry for the long report, I am not sure what has lead to the current broken state, so I provide complete story.)

For several months I was using TortoiseGit 1.6.5 (not 100% about the version) with git version 1.7.3.1.msysgit.0 on a box with 64bit Windows 7. There was a 64-bit as well as a 32-bit version of TortoiseGit installed because I often use Altap Salamander 2.54 [http://altap.cz/salam_en/index.html] which is 32-bit only and it has not been able to work with 64-bit TortoiseGit.

Everything was working well for months.

Then suddenly few seconds after creating a new branch (on command line, not via the TortoiseGit) in one project, TGitCache has crashed several times. Hence I uninstalled both 32-bit and 64-bit TortoiseGits and downloaded new versions (1.7.4.0) of both.

32-bit refused to install so I installed just the 64-bit one. However its TGitCache keeps crashing often (crash report attached). After some experimenting it seems the crash is triggered by changing directory in one of the git-tracked projects in the AltapSalamander (32bit). (Other ones do not trigger that).

(Doing the same in Windows Explorer (64bit) does not trigger the crash.)
