Hi list,

[git-gui version 0.8.4
  git version 1.5.3.4.398.g859b
  Tcl/Tk version 8.4.7
  OSX 10.4.10]

I've just realized that git-gui wasn't only using 3 lines of context  
in the diffs so I changed the setting under the menu Wish>Options...  
under the section `Global'.  I had to restart git-gui so that the new  
setting is taken into account.  Admittedly, it's a minor  
inconvenience, but I thought I'd let you know, in case one of the Tcl/ 
Tk hackers out there want to fix it :-)

Also, when I click the green `+' to maximize the size of the window  
of git-gui, it doesn't do anything.

Cheers,

Would not clicking on another file have done the trick, too?
