I was running smartgit-2.8.1 using this cmd,
set PATH=f:\openjdk6\bin;%PATH%
set LIBPATHSTRICT=T
set BEGINLIBPATH=f:\openjdk6\bin
set CLASSPATH=
rem set JAVA_HOME=f:\openjdk6
set SWING_HOME=
set MAXIMUM_HEAP_SIZE=512m
java -XX:-UseSSE42Intrinsics -Xmx512m -Dsmartgit.checkIncompatibleJava=false -Dmain-class=SmartGit -jar f:\utils\smartgit-2_1_8\lib\smartgit.jar
Git never worked for pushing and pulling, otherwise worked fine.
Today it silently exits, maybe memory or maybe due to having updated git
