Nope. There’s nothing to pull; the current gitk.git master was already taken by the last pull. Even once there are commits to pull, the common ancestor will be 6758ad94, in which the script is executable, so the script will remain non-executable in the merge result. (And you can see for yourself that the last 28 pulls since 62ba5143 haven’t added the executable bit.)

The point is that 62ba5143 introduced a change to git.git that wasn’t in gitk.git, and that change will remain in git.git until it’s undone in git.git.
