When you run './git-gui.sh', it is executed as a shell script. That shell script then executes itself via 'wish' (which is the Tcl/Tk windowing shell), and Tcl ignores the first "line" (it is actually the lines 3-10, but they all have an escaped newline so it is effectively a single line). It has been like since the very first revision of git-gui. I wonder why the original author went with this instead of just doing something like: #!/usr/bin/env wish which seems to work just fine on my quick testing, but that is another topic entirely ;) > "Initializing..." status bar text, since the new status bar model won't > do this automatically when operations are performed. PS: I am in the process of reviewing the latest revision of the patch series. But I have been short on free time recently so it might take me a couple more days. -- Regards, Pratyush Yadav
