If a cherry-pick requires conflict resolution, gitk does: if {[confirm_popup [mc "Cherry-pick failed because of merge\ conflict.\nDo you wish to run git citool to\ resolve it?"]]} { That gives the user a Yes/Cancel dialog, but in this case Cancel really means "No, don't run anything", _not_ cancel the cherry-pick. So IMHO, it would be better if the dialog options were Yes/No. If you added the button text as parameters to the confirm_popup function, you'd have to pass it the default strings everywhere, and the extra visual noise of all that would probably make this bug not worth fixing. Unless tcl supports functions with default arguments, like C++'s int foo(int i, int j=42); Unfortunately I don't know tcl. git (with gitk and git gui) is the best thing since emacs.
