git @2.7.0_1: gitk fails to run due to unknown color "lime"

Description

gitk fails to run with Tcl/Tk provided by OS X: 

$ /usr/bin/wish /opt/local/bin/gitk
Error in startup script: unknown color name "lime"
    (processing "-fore" option)
    invoked from within
"$ctext tag conf m2 -fore [lindex $mergecolors 2]"
    (procedure "makewindow" line 347)
    invoked from within
"makewindow"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/gitk" line 12434)

The color name was introduced before for X11 and Win32, but apparently not for OS X. Although gitk also works with tk @8.6 installed from MacPorts.

Adding a hard dependency on tcl and tk just for this simple change does not sound reasonable. I am attaching a patch as an immediate fix, but the issue should probably also be taken upstream.
