OK, that information should go in the patch description.

Then I am amazed at how much you have been able to accomplish...
There's a lot of information available in the Tcl/Tk man pages. On
Debian or Ubuntu, you need the tcl8.5-doc and tk8.5-doc packages
installed. Then you can do e.g. "man 3tcl Tcl" to get a summary of
the Tcl language syntax, etc.
BTW, I haven't forgotten about your encoding support patches. The
last month has been occupied with travelling for Kernel Summit and the
Linux Plumbers Conference, followed by a vacation, and then catching
up with work that has piled up, so I haven't had much time to spare
for gitk hacking.
Paul.
