#62043: git @2.29.2_0: gitk calls system "wish", which aborts

Component:  ports   |    Version:  2.6.4
 Keywords:          |       Port:  git
--------------------+--------------------
 The MacPorts "git" port assumes a working version of tck/tk supplied by
 the system rather than having dependencies on those ports. I'm sure there
 are reasons for this, but one side-effect is that the git port is relying
 on a working system-supplied "wish" application.

 Unfortunately, it looks like on macOS 11.1 this is not the case:

 {{{
 $ /usr/bin/wish
 macOS 11 or later required !
 /usr/bin/wish: line 2:  4353 Abort trap: 6           "$(dirname
 $0)/../../System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Wish.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish"
 "$@"
 }}}

 The "wish" application is invoked by gitk, so this means that the gitk
 from the git port doesn't work either.

 This seems to be architecture-independent and true both for upgraded
 versions of macOS and fresh installs. I have opened a feedback with Apple.

 We could obviously address this by taking dependencies on the tcl and tk
 ports, but I suspect there were good reasons for not doing that in the
 first place.

 The good news is that if you're affected by this, you can work round the
 issue by installing those ports manually:

 {{{
 $ sudo port install tcl tk +quartz
 }}}

 (Adding the quartz variant to tk so that an X server is not required.)
