From: Konstantin Podsvirov <konstantin@podsvirov.pro>
Allow using `git gui` command via MSYS2's MINGW32/64 subsystems (apropriate shells).
Just install apropriate `tk` package:

```bash user@host MINGW32 ~ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-tk ```

or

```bash user@host MINGW64 ~ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-tk ```
