     7Seems related to a broken version of Tk 8.5 that shipped with Sierra. I worked around this by installing Tk 8.6.6 via MacPorts, and then forcing `Git Gui.app` to use the MacPorts version of `wish` (similar to what is described in the above links):

    9 sudo port uninstall git

    11 sudo port install git
     9port install tk +quartz
     10cd /opt/local/share/git-gui/lib/Git\ Gui.app/Contents/MacOS
     11mv Wish Wish.bak
     12ln -s /opt/local/bin/wish Wish

     15Note: I previously tried simply rebuilding `git` via MacPorts after installing `tk` but this was insufficient. The `Git Gui.app` created during the build contains a `Wish` binary that links with the broken system `Tk.framework`. So I ended up symlinking in the MacPorts built version instead.
