I do not use git-gui, but as a bystander, the intent of the change
sounds sane. deleting from the insertion cursor to the end of the
word where the insertion cursor is looks like the right way to
delete the word to the right of the cursor. I am not sure if going
back by one character from where the current insertion cursor is and
further go back to the wordstart would give the beginning of the
word to the left of the cursor, though.
A larger issue is that we haven't heard from Pat, who has been
helping git-gui.sh maintenance, for quite a while, so we'd need to
find a volunteer to act as a replacement maintainer. If you are
willing to, that would be great ;-)
Thanks.
