But I'd sure like to avoid the bug :) The problem is the limitation of the command line on Windows. Mark has a shallow clone, and it was kept shallow all the time, basically accumulating commits that are not really parent-less, but in this repository, they are. So gitk was calling git with a way-too-long command line, and it just died, taking gitk with it.
