Hello. I'm using git-1.5.3.7 on linux. When I try get use "Make Patch" from by the context menu and click on "Generate" an error popup appears which states: "Error creating patch: illegal use of | or &|" I tracked the problem down to line 5064 in gitk, which belongs to diffcmd: set cmd [concat | git diff-tree -r $flags $ids] This line produces something like | git diff-tree -r -p 5441937e2... 7394db226... As you see there is a leading pipe symbol which caused the error message. Is there some special shell to use with gitk?? Or is it just a BUG? If I remove the | after concat everything works smooth.
