Eric,
I understand the logic of Yaakov, but I expect that 99.9% of user using
git-gui will use the x-server on cygwin.

At least the mantainer of  clisp-clx had the same thought
about its package:

sdesc: "The new-clx module linkset for clisp"
ldesc: "This is the linkset full+new-clx for X.Org."
category: Interpreters
requires: clisp xorg-server libXpm4 libXt6 cygwin

So your proposal for gittk and git-gui fits in the same view

Regards
Marco
