In that case, Junio, perhaps we should restrict this particular warning
just to merge.
However, there a number of other warnings that can get printed on
stderr, many of them related to reflogs. So I suspect with some reflog
conditions (like a reflog that only goes back 1 day) you could end up
with a tcl error for "gitk HEAD@{2.days.ago}".
