Would a similar change to gitk necessary/beneficial to platforms
that would benefit from this change?

git-gui directory in my tree comes from its upstream repository
git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git/, and it is maintained by Pat Thoyts
(Cc'ed).

gitk is from git://ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk.git maintained by Paul
Mackerras <paulus@samba•org> (not Cc'ed).

Note that these two upstream projects do not have leading
directories git-gui and gitk-git themselves (they are merged to my
tree while their paths being renamed).  A patch that is appliable to
them would touch paths without them (e.g. Makefile and git-gui.sh
for an equivalent of the patch I am responding to).

Thanks.
