One of these "weird usage causes weird bugs".
One way to reproduce:
mkdir foo cd foo git init git commit -am "Initial" gitk & # or gitk --all & <F5>
Resulting in (gitk-git/gitk line 503 - 512):
can't read "viewmainheadid_orig(1)": no such variable
can't read "viewmainheadid_orig(1)": no such variable
while executing
"if {$mainheadid ne $viewmainheadid_orig($view)} {
if {$showlocalchanges} {
dohidelocalchanges
}
set viewmainheadid($view) $mainheadid
set vie..."
(procedure "updatecommits" line 13)
invoked from within
"updatecommits"
(command bound to event)As "$mainheadid" is not set, should there be something in the direction of this perhaps?

Or perhaps some logic in:
