I intend to add a menu item to gitk saying "Commit local changes" or something, which would invoke gitool, or maybe now git-gui instead. :) The nice thing is that then gitk could update the graph to show the new commit once it was created. My current version of gitool also has menus that let you revert modified files, and delete or ignore untracked files. Have you considered adding that to git-gui? Regards,
