Hi,
I reported this bug a while ago:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2010/2/22/24038

In short, the "Show history context" item of the context menu of "git gui blame" is broken since february. Two patches were proposed:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/140688 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/140288

But I've just noticed that none of theme were applied.

Checking this it seems you are correct. This has been fixed for msysGit with the above patch included there but is missing from git-gui itself and hence missing from core git.

Can we resolve this before 1.7.2 final?

Shawn, I see 9c898a1 (git-gui: check whether systems nice command works or disable it, 2010-02-07) on your 'maint' that is not in mine (and a merge of that commit on your 'master'), but neither of these.

Too late for the 1.7.2, but can we finally get one of these patches applied? They're both very short and straightforward, and fix an important feature of git-gui which is basically broken as of now.

Thanks,

Maybe some interested person should maintain a temporary fork of git-gui that could be merged in the meantime. That is what people seem to usually do with submodules in analogous situations.

I pushed git-gui + my patches to git://git.patthoyts.tk/git-gui (http://www.patthoyts.tk/gitweb.cgi?p=git-gui;a=summary) so if someone wants to pull from that it is Shawn's repository plus 3.

Alternatively the git-gui patches could be pulled from msysGit which has a few in addition to these three.

Quick thoughts:

Were those patches reviewed? I assume so, but I do not see a Reviewed-by or anything so I do not know who to blame if they go awry.

Here[1] is another candidate patch, though it has not received much attention, unfortunately.

Thanks, Jonathan
