Yes, but I only installed Git as a workaround to fix the hang in the first place, and I put it in one of the locations that I saw Fritzing was trying to find it at.
Git is not required to operate Fritzing, but Fritzing looks for it in the wrong way.
Fritzing should look for Git in a proper way, not by looking round my entire filesystem repeatedly each and every time it opens a file. There must be a proper way to detect Git (not sure, maybe by a registry entry). And if not found, don’t try to go searching the file system for it.
It is clearly a bug. 
Hope that it can be fixed in the next release.
