Hi Jonathan,

It appears that this change has caused a regression when using git-gui
blame <file> -> right click on a source line -> "Show History Context"

There is an "Application Error" window that appears with the following
details:
can't read "::main_status": no such variable
can't read "::main_status": no such variable
    while executing
"$::main_status  start  [mc "Starting %s... please wait..." "gitk"]"
    (procedure "do_gitk" line 55)
    invoked from within
"do_gitk $cmdline"
    (procedure "blame::_gitkcommit" line 47)
    invoked from within
"blame::_gitkcommit ::blame::__o1::__d"
    invoked from within
".ctxm invoke active"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke active]"
    (procedure "tk::MenuInvoke" line 50)
    invoked from within
"tk::MenuInvoke .ctxm 1"
    (command bound to event)

The rest of the functionality seems unaffected but it's pretty annoying
to have to dismiss this message each time.

Can you please look into it?
