Hi!

In my local clone of git.git, currently with the v1.8.4-rc2 tag checked out and built (and installed on the system), starting up gitk yields an empty window, with a dialog in front of it:

   error
   Can't parse git log output: { }
   [ OK ]

Has anyone else seen this, and know what might have happened? I do not get the behaviour in other repositories (including other clones of git.git), only this particular one.
