What is the best way to get the corresponding gitk release notes for git 
releases (so I can see the detailed gitk release notes behind the git 
release note "various gitk enhancements and fixes")?

v/r,

Unfortunately, the best way I can think of is that you write it yourself
by looking at the log; I do not think there is any selarate release notes
written by anybody.

$ git log -1 --oneline --first-parent master -- gitk-git

will show that 09bb4eb (Merge git://ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk, 2011-12-16)
was the last merge, so

$ git log -p 09bb4eb^2
$ git shortlog 09bb4eb^2

would be the "raw" data source to study.
