Hi Paul, this came in through msysGit's issue tracker, from a guy who is involved in the Tk project. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 23:12:11 +0000 From: codesite-noreply@xxxxxxxxxx To: msysgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [msysGit] Issue 125 in msysgit: gitk crashes when quit while reading Comment #4 on issue 125 by patthoyts: gitk crashes when quit while reading http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=125 The simplest fix for all current versions of Tk is to apply the following patch to gitk which will flush all the geometry events before it begins reading the commit ids. This avoids the crash. A fix has now been applied to Tk 8.5 and HEAD branches to avoid this in the future. diff --git a/gitk b/gitk index dc2a439..197bc67 100755 --- a/gitk +++ b/gitk @@ -10884,6 +10884,7 @@ makewindow # wait for the window to become visible tkwait visibility . wm title .
