having a little trouble with the current version of git-cola on windows - I am launching git-cola directly from git-bash command line. I can call gitk directly from the same commandline but when git-cola tries to call it via "branch->Visualize Current Branch" I am getting a - "Windows error [error 2] can't find the file specified" error. On Linux (kubuntu) and on earlier versions of cola everything seemed to work fine.

I lulled myself into believing that I could do without the code I
removed in cae8704e09f8ab32d82d75afc076a133eca59460.

I'm going to try and do something that's a mix of both the new and old
code. I'll push something shortly. If you'd like to open a github
issue then you will get notified when I have commits that touch that
area.

So here's what I'll do. I'll push one possible fix to the "win32" on
my clone at git://github.com/davvid/git-cola.git

If you could test it out (running cola from its source tree should do
the trick) then I'll know they're good before I merge them into the
main repo.

Let me know if you this'll work for you. There's a few possibilities
we can try.

Even though it's python, getting the cross-platform part right is
always a bit tricky w/ Windows so your help is really appreciated.

I did a bunch more testing and I think I found the right solution.

I've pushed the fixes up to github. Let me know if that does it for ya.
