There are a few possible solutions here:

Windows creates 'git-gui.exe' which uses 'git update-index', instead of 'git gui' which uses 'git-update-index.exe'. 'git-gui.exe' or equivalent doesn't appear to be build for Mac.
Make 'git-update-index.exe' use command hooks
Make 'git gui' use 'git update-index' instead of 'git-update-index.exe'

However we should follow what we've done on Windows and instruct users to run "git-gui.exe".

It looks like git-gui is installed in /usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-gui on Mac. We'd need to make it path accessible on Mac for parity. @dscho.

Note this work has not been prioritized.

FWIW the git-gui.exe in Git for Windows exists mainly so that we have a neat target for the Start Menu item "Git GUI"...
