You and me both Jonathan. I tested it on both Mac OS X and Win32,
and on Tcl/Tk 8.4.1, 8.4.10, 8.4.15, and 8.5.0. Never ran into
this failure. So the original poster must be running 8.4.0, and
8.4.0 must not support this binding. Added in 8.4.1? *sigh*

I don't know, [ and ] seem reasonable to me. Git is mostly a source
code control system. A lot of languages use [ and ] as part of
their syntax. If you are typing on a keyboard that is difficult to
access these keys on, you are probably already used to contorting
your fingers. :-|
I wrote up a patch today based on Michele's suggested change.
It works everywhere I can test, but I don't have an 8.4.0
installation like the original poster.
Unless someone posts a patch to change the keys away from [ and ]
I say leave them as-is. But I'm willing to entertain a change if
someone who cares writes a patch for it.
