Looks good to me (refer to previous comment about being rusty with tcl).
More importantly
Tested-by: Chris Packham <judge.packham@xxxxxxxxx>
There is the alternative I posted which just does away with the version
checks (actually that only addressed one of the vcompare call sites).
There are also these checks that I guess are correct (if not
inconsistent) but again who is still using git 1.5.3?
git-gui.sh:1098: >= 1.5.3 {
lib/blame.tcl:800: if {[git-version >= 1.5.3]} {
lib/blame.tcl:849: if {[git-version >= 1.5.3]} {
lib/checkout_op.tcl:513: >= 1.5.3 {
