Thanks for the update - I tried again, similar results.

same platform. installed image md5sum 1bb50b3ee5eda3cd7f4b4a70cdae1855

Procedure was the same.
 - download, bunzip2, mount, drag app to Applications.
 - chrome had one tab open, iconified
 - double-click application icon

Chrome opens up and shows the config window. Type in the same path
after checking that the final element of the path did not already exist.

    ps aux|grep git

I ran dtruss on the two processes of interest, including when I sent them kill -9 in case that showed anything of interest.
Mail me if you need that but the gist is git init was doing

    workq_kernreturn(0x1, 0x1019CC000, 0x0)          = -1 Err#22
    workq_kernreturn(0x1, 0x1019CC000, 0x0)          = -1 Err#22
    workq_kernreturn(0x1, 0x1019CC000, 0x0)          = -1 Err#22
    ...
    workq_kernreturn(0x1, 0x1019CC000, 0x0)          = -1 Err#22
    dtrace: 2006687 drops on CPU 0
    workq_kernreturn(0x1, 0x1019CC000, 0x0)          = -1 Err#22

and the git-annex webapp was doing stuff like

    psynch_cvwait(0x7FD7F1418888, 0x2BE010002BF00, 0x600)            = -1 Err#260

which may be unrelated browser event loop stuff I guess.
