Weird that both git-gui and gitk are giving you errors; usually its git-gui that is being paranoid about the repository structure and gitk works just fine. You can try starting `git gui --trace` and see if that tells you any more detail, but it doesn't show cwd so it may not be all that useful to help you debug it. -- Shawn.
