Huh. Sounds like the Tcl/Tk process isn't spawning the Cygwin git
process in the right directory or something. Weird that both git-gui
and gitk are giving you errors; usually its git-gui that is being
paranoid about the repository structure and gitk works just fine.
You can try starting `git gui --trace` and see if that tells you
any more detail, but it doesn't show cwd so it may not be all that
useful to help you debug it.
