Probably, but on Cygwin gitk needs to use 'git foo' to invoke a command, even if 'git-foo' exists, because 'git-foo' might be a shell script and the Cygwin wish process cannot execute shell scripts. Worse it cannot pass down environment variables to git commands. So it may be a little hard to tell in the git wrapper we are being run from within gitk (or git-gui)... --
