iPhone Simulator being opened causes these symptoms in Installer.app. Quitting 
the
simulator unsticks the installer. There may be causes other than this as well, 
of
course; a key line to look for in determining iPhone Simulator complicity 
appears to be: 

** -[NSMachPort handlePortMessage:]: dropping incoming DO message because the
connection or ports are invalid

Thanks Seth, it does appear that Installer conflicts with iPhone Simulator.  
This happens when installing *any* 
package, not just git.

Yes, quitting iPhone simulator worked for me too.

I found that I also need to close xcode in addition to the emulator.

I just wanted to add further confirmation - with the simulator open, the 
installer would hang. Closing the 
simulator fixed the problem for me.

Would it be a good idea to add a note to the project home page?

I will add a note to the installer DMG file for future releases.  Thank you so 
much for the help!

I can confirm that closing the iPhone Simulator seems to allow it to install 
instead
of getting stuck on Preparing.

Ditto on the iphone sym issue.

I also confirm that closing the iPhone simulator solves the problem.

But could you please edit one of the first comments and say there what the 
solution
is so others won't have to read the whole thread before finding out at the end 
what
the solution is. ...just an idea.

Thanks anyway.

Confirmed, close the simulator, reopen the installer.
