Using the native "wish", gitk fails on OSX 10.4 if given any arguments. For example, the failure for "gitk --all" is:

    localhost.local:~/MIRROR/git-GIT % gitk --all
    Error in startup script: unknown option "-state"
        while executing
    ".bar.view entryconf 3 -state normal"
        invoked from within
    "if {$cmdline_files ne {} || $revtreeargs ne {}} {
        # create a view for the files/dirs specified on the command line
        set curview 1
        set selec..."
        (file "/opt/git/bin/gitk" line 6298)
What is -state ?  What version of tk does it require?
