Hmmph. The [is_Cygwin] test within git-gui causes it to setup the .bat shortcut using: $(cygpath --windows /bin/sh) --login -c 'git git-gui' for exactly that reason. I didn't think that with MSYS there was environment to hand down through a shell's init scripts. I thought it was all coming from Windows itself. Oops. When starting gitk, git-gui assumes (rightly or wrongly) that gitk is a Tcl/Tk script and launches it with the same Tcl interpreter that is running git-gui. I did that to bypass the unnecessary fork/exec of a shell just to enter a wish process. I had assumed that would also work well on the MSYS case. Apparently not. Patches to git-gui would be welcome. It will probably be a few weeks before I can get an MSYS+Git configuration working that I can test git-gui against. I'm just swamped with too many tasks right now, and this, although interesting enough to fix, is likely to take a back seat. -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Wed Jan 31 02:28:03 2007
