This does not work on Cygwin, probably because the Tcl/Tk package is
a windows program rather than Cygwin. The result is always an error
message proclaiming 'can not find channel named "1"'. This restores
invocation through sh -c.
Are you using Tk 8.4 or 8.5? The man pages for 8.5 imply that the
2>@1 form should work for all platforms, but maybe that wasn't true in
8.4. If that's the case it's worth mentioning in the patch
description.
Paul.
Cygwin's Tcl/Tk is essentially frozen at 8.4.1. However, I really
believe the problem is that the Tcl/Tk is not a full Cygwin application:
it is mostly Windows, with only a few pieces converted to Posix through
the cygwin.dll, so many things don't quite work correctly. For instance,
the current gitk works fine under a pure Cygwin build of Tcl/Tk (8.4.13)
I have locally. So, I believe the commit message I wrote is correct.
