The following patches improve the user experience for gitk in macOS
by avoiding to abort if the terminal where it is running hasn't been
authorized for Automation as reported a few[1,2] times already.

It has been tested in macOS 11.5.1 using both the system tk (8.5) and
the latest (8.6.11) from brew, the third[3] patch is needed for using
8.6 and has been included with the gitk version from brew as well.

Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón (2):
  gitk: skip calling osascript to set frontmost for tk >= 8.6
  gitk: avoid fatal error if `exec osascript` fails

Tobias Pietzsch (1):
  gitk: check main window visibility before waiting for it to show
