gitinspector crashed on Windows 8 about gitinspector

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is an interesting bug. It seems the terminal fails to report width and 
height.
It works great under Windows 7 (and previous versions); but reading up on it it 
seems things have changed slightly in Windows 8 and people use yet another 
method to get the terminal size.

I will look into it shortly.

I don't have a Windows 8 installation; so you will have to assist me a little.

Reading around there seems to be a method used in conjunction with tput. Could 
you check if the tput command is available in your terminal in Windows 8? In 
that case, that command could be used to fetch the terminal size, executing the 
commands;

tput cols
tput lines

... should return the number of columns and lines of the current terminal.

Unfortunately, neither of them works in PowerShell or cmd prompt

The terminal now falls back to default size (80*25) if the size of the terminal 
could not be determined. See the revision above for more information.

This is the correct behavior anyway (even if it shouldn't fail). Reading up on 
it the current method *SHOULD* work under Windows 8 as well. Something in your 
environment probably makes it fail. Maybe some missing modules in the Python 
installation? I will add some error printouts to stderr; when the terminal size 
can't be determined for some reason, so that it is easier to do something about 
it.
