It is tcl/tk. The command 'exec wish' is missing in the new release:

  $ diff -u gitk.prev gitk | head
  --- gitk.prev   2010-02-06 23:53:48.001000000 +0100
  +++ gitk        2010-04-02 16:37:13.001000000 +0200

   #!/bin/sh
   # Tcl ignores the next line -*- tcl -*- \
  -argv0=`cygpath --windows --absolute "$0"`; \
  -exec wish "$argv0" -- "$@"
  +


Workaround: run gitk as:

$ wish /usr/bin/gitk
