Regression in gitk from git-1.5.3-rc7

Hi!

First of all thanks for this great piece of software you are providing
for the community! I am a refugee from the SVN camp, BTW. ;-)

To the point...

Today I noticed a problem in gitk from git-1.5.3-rc7 package, which I
think did not exist in rc5. The problem is as follows:

I am working with two parallel branches (master and stable). And I often
use the cherry-pick option from gitk context menu to pick some patches
from the master branch to the stable one (I cannot merge, because stable
is a tracking branch of some remote SVN repository).
If the picked patch does not apply cleanly on stable, I fix the problem
in editor, then switch to git-gui to update the index and commit this
conflicted commit to the stable branch.

Now, I go back to gitk, and *without* updating the view (using <F5> for
instance), I try to cherry pick another patch from my master branch.
And in such a situation I got this error from git-gui:

===== cut here =====

    (procedure "tk::MenuInvoke" line 50)
    invoked from within
"tk::MenuInvoke .rowctxmenu 1"
    (command bound to event)

===== cut here =====

BTW, the patch which I am trying to cherry-pick to stable is correctly
committed, but gitk is not usable any more (I need to close it and start
again).

The above described problem does not occur when I refresh the gitk tree
manually before cherry-picking another commit.

Best regards,
/Adam
