[PATCH] git-gui: try to locate git in same directory as git-gui (on Windows)

Steffen Prohaska· Oct 6, 2007, 09:36 UTC · lore

This commit adds another guess where git might be located. After searching PATH the last fallback is the directory in which git-gui is installed. This is a good guess for a sane installation.

Even if git is not included in PATH, git-gui is now able to locate it. Hence git-gui can be passed to wish as an absolute path without caring about the environment.

PATH is searched first and the location of git-gui only as a last resort. Maybe the order should be reversed?
