Reproduced as follows:
	git tag a%b
	gitk
and then clicking on the "| a%b >" symbol.
Result:
	can't read "tagids(foo1ar)": no such element in array
	can't read "tagids(foo1ar)": no such element in array
	    while executing
	"set text "[mc "Tag"]: $tag\n[mc "Id"]:  $tagids($tag)""
	    (procedure "showtag" line 19)
	    invoked from within
	"showtag foo1ar 1"
	    (command bound to event)

It seems that a tag containing a percent sign works okay in an expression like $tagids($tag), but not in a quoted expression like "$tagids($tag)".

Hints?

Thanks for gitk, of course. :) Jonathan

[PATCH] gitk: ensure quoted tag names in event bindings

Tag names that contain a % character require quoting when used in event bindings or the name may be mis-recognised for percent substitution in the event script.

Thanks, makes sense (and seems to work).
