Hi!

After upgrading Git to 2.6.3 (from 2.5.0), gitk refuses to start when 
trying to load the Swedish translation if I pass it a commit range:

   $ gitk v2.5.0..v2.6.3
   Error in startup script: bad menu entry index "Ändra vy..."
       while executing
   ".bar.view entryconf [mca "Edit view..."] -state normal"
       invoked from within
"if {$cmdline_files ne {} || $revtreeargs ne {} || $revtreeargscmd ne {}} {
     # create a view for the files/dirs specified on the command line
     se..."
     (file "/usr/local/bin/gitk" line 12442)

If I start it without any parameters, it does start up, but the main 
menu is untranslated.

The translation for this entry is defined in gitk-git/po/sv.po line 135 
and hasn't changed since 2008, even if the sv.po file does have a few 
updates since the previous version in some other places.

Hi Peter,

This bug has been reported a few times already and a fix will be in git
2.7.
