Looks like gitk doesn't like the "-rc0" suffix.
$ git --version
git version 1.7.4-rc0
$ gitk
Error in startup script: expected version number but got "1.7.4-rc0"
while executing
"package vcompare $git_version "1.6.6.2""
(file "/usr/local/bin/gitk" line 1)
I temporarily fixed it by hard-coding the version string:
diff --git a/gitk-git/gitk b/gitk-git/gitk
index e82c6bf..367446e 100644
--- a/gitk-git/gitk
