Since gitk and git-gui complement each other, I think that it is beneficial to integrate them where it makes sense.

I think it makes more sense to have this as an item on the context menu for the fake commit(s) for local changes.

Git Gui is useful for a lot more things than just committing changes, e.g. you can interact with remote repositories, or do a merge, or amend the last commit message. Also, not everyone has local change display enabled in gitk. Alexander ```
