Update: Feb 4, 2013

The developers for this project have added an update the fixes this issue and adds support for java 7 for newer versions of osx 10.7+, The updates can be downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30474

This is a known issue for osx 10.8.2 related to the latest version of java 1.7.0 that comes with this release. The suggested work around by the git-tf project team is to use a later version of java 1.6.0 while executing commands for git-tf.
