I use git version 2.41.0.windows.3 on Microsoft Windows 11.  I would like to have "git bisect visualize" use gitk instead of git log, but cannot figure out how to do that.  The documentation at https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect says that gitk is the default but "If the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, git log is used instead".  I haven't found a description of what I should set the DISPLAY environment variable to on Windows to get gitk to be used.  I've tried setting it to "whatever" and ":0" but then still got git log instead of gitk.  How do I arrange for "git bisect visualize" to use gitk on Windows?
