git @2.6.3: gitk can not be invoked with command line parameters like gitk --all

[fredowski]

gitk works fine when it is invoked without parameters. If I start gitk with a parameter it looks like this:

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

The gui opens shortly and then closes immediately.
