Public bug reported:
When running gitk in a git working copy directory, it starts, but
instead of displaying the history, it shows the following error:
Error executing git log: wrong # args:
sholuld be
"safe_open_command_redirect cmd redir"
I was able to fix it (after copying it from /usr/bin to ~/bin):
