hi all,

asking the experts: after upgrading one of my machines to git, gitk and git gui fail to start ...

* git gui fails with "cannot determine git version"
* gitk fails with "cannot find a git repository here"

other git commands work fine. issue happens with git-2.7.4 and 2.8.2. though it only happens on one of my linux machines, while the other works like charm.

any idea what could cause this? apparently i'm not alone with this issue [1]

tia, tim
