Git extensions "Create new repository" not working

Question

I am a long time user of Git and Git Extensions.

Recently I updated both Git and Git Extensions (on windows, using chocolatey) to versions 1.9.4.20140929 and 2.48.03.

Most things still work well. But, when I bring up the file explorer in a folder with no git repository and right click and choose GitEx Create new repository (the GUI version of git init) I am shown this

This seems wrong. It should show something like this

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Answer 1

It was a bug.

I have submitted a pull request to fix it, which has been accepted.
