Ping. This bug is in 1.5.6.x, and thus also in the current Cygwin git
release: as a result, several gitk context menu items cause
errors. (Let me know if I should resend the patch).
In the meantime, is it an option to apply this as a port specific patch
when Cygwin and whichever distribution ship with old Tcl package their
binary releases?
Just checking how urgent this issue is (8.4.1 was from Oct 2002 if I am
not mistaken) for maintainers of Cygwin port, and I am suspecting that
kernel folks are somewhat busy near/around OLS/KS timeframe (but not me).
(I didn't trim the message as I've copied the Cygwin git maintainer).
I certainly have this patch in my tree so the folks I supply git to who
use Cygwin have this patch. The question of whether to maintain this out
of tree for the official Cygwin release is up to Eric.
