I think this is a duplicate of #48 which got merged but hasn't been released to pypi yet. Can you try installing from master and try again?

pip install git+https://github.com/jorisroovers/gitlint.git

Closing this as a duplicate, let me know if you still encounter the issue with latest master. I hope to roll a release over the next few days that will include the fix.
