I was hoping that Junio would patch-monkey that one since that crash-at-launch makes gitk unusable for Mojave users, but apparently it never got picked up. Anyhow, the issue fixed by that patch has to do with 'osascript' on Apple, and it's the only such invocation in the source code of gitk/git-gui. The 'osascript' invocation merely attempts to foreground the application at launch, so is almost certainly unrelated to the above reported behavior. Somebody running Mojave will likely need to spend some time debugging it. (Unfortunately, I'm a couple major releases behind and don't plan on upgrading.)
