Just an update on this. We have 'fixed' this, but the error may still be present. It's not an error, it's more of a warning (the osxkeychain) just to say it couldn't find the authentication helper that's configured. It won't cause authentication to fail through SourceTree, it just won't use one that's set up.

Cheers

this alloys happens with source tree app and the solution that you change the settings to use the system git not the embedded git with source-tree because source tree is using an older version
