Since gitk and git-gui are separate projects (pulled at irregular 
intervals into git.git), your patch looks sane, but would be better done 
as a patch against gitk.git.

I'm sorry, I think I knew this once, but had forgotten.  Of course, as
a patch against gitk, I think it gets quite verbose as the patch
includes a full copy of the po2msg.sh script.

Is there a simple way to generate a gitk.git patch from a git.git
clone, or do I need to clone a gitk repository from somewhere?

Perhaps I could just flag this as a reasonably important MacOS X
1.5.4-rc issue until I can sort out a more suitable patch?

Thanks,

Charles.

Oh, my critique was not meant as harsh as it was apparently received: for 
reviewing purposes, your way was perfect, as it shows your intent better 
than the technically correct patch.

All I'm saying is that you should send the (verbose) patch, too, possibly 
referring to the smaller patch in the space between the three dashes and 
the diffstat.

(I would also prefix this patch with "gitk:", instead of writing "of 
gitk", so that people reading the log of git.git get a better idea what 
this is about.)

Ciao,
Dscho
