Some further information:

git gui --trace doesn't seem to do anything.

I copied the tree from the directory it was in :
/cygdrive/c/Docume~1/dad/Desktop/cyghome/javt

to: /javt

and gitk started working.  
In this directory git-gui give the following error:

couldn't execute "C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\git-core\git-update-index.exe":
 invalid argument
couldn't execute "C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\git-core\git-update-index.exe":

Any more ideas on things to try?
