For some reason, the Cygwin Tcl's `exec' command has trouble running
scripts...
Yup, I've seen this and have a "personal edition" workaround
exactly like yours. I haven't bothered to put it in even "pu",
because I am reluctant to add an workaround to a problem I do
not understand (and I haven't bothered to try understanding the
problem which happens only on Windows ;-).
Does anybody know what is going on?

I'll try staring at the Tcl source code some time. I'm rather too busy
tonight, though.
There's also some very strange geometry management oddness going on in
gitk. I'll try to sort that out too.

Currently, Cygwin's tcl is a pure windows version which uses
CreateProcess to run stuff. It doesn't know about scripts and possibly
doesn't even know about cygwin paths.

That has been discussed. My feeling is that this is a bug of Tk with
regard to rootless X servers. I never came around to do a proper patch,
but I have explicit -height and -width arguments to all frames and
panedwindows.
If you want to start working on it, I attached my current patch, which is
good enough for me, but note that it changes the geometry subtly everytime
gitk is called...
Hth,
