Comment (by chrstphrchvz):

 git gui is using Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.5.9 included in macOS, which is very old
 and appears to be unusable on macOS 12. Since macOS 10.15, it has been
 deprecated and is likely to be removed in future macOS (as warned on the
 command line).

 If git gui is using `wish` from `PATH`, then installing MacPorts’ tk
 (either the +quartz or +x11 variant is fine) may work around this issue.

 If git gui and gitk should always be using MacPorts’ Tcl/Tk, it may be
 desirable to separate them from the git port, so that git itself isn’t
 dependent on Tcl/Tk ports.
