Some further information:
git gui --trace doesn't seem to do anything.

I copied the tree from the directory it was in : /cygdrive/c/Docume~1/dad/Desktop/cyghome/javt

to: /javt

and gitk started working. In this directory git-gui give the following error:

couldn't execute "C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\git-core\git-update-index.exe":
 invalid argument
couldn't execute "C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\git-core\git-update-index.exe":

    while executing

    (procedure "_open_stdout_stderr" line 16)
    invoked from within
"_open_stdout_stderr [concat $opt $cmdp $args"
    (procedure "git_read" line 26)
    invoked from within

    (procedure "do_rescan" line 2)

Any more ideas on things to try?
