I do what I can. Just noticed s question at SO about it
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46450479/how-to-remove-the-stale-gitk-tmp-file)
Provided that I was author of the message, it looked like
something for me to fix.

As Junio noticed, it would be more reliable to show full
path, and error message does not have to be very nice
anyway. Also, gitk is already too big and I always feel bad
when adding stuff to it, so let's save couple of lines by
not adding another "if".
