+ + gitk: fix setting font display with new tabbed dialog layout.
+ + gitk: fix tabbed preferences construction when using tcl 8.4
Pat spotted and fixed a few bugs in the latest gitk updates; we may need
these in 1.7.10 so testing on various platforms is very much appreciated.
-* bw/spawn-via-shell-path (2012-03-31) 2 commits
- - fixup? Quote SHELL_PATH the same way as DEFAULT_EDITOR for C
- - Use SHELL_PATH from build system in run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd
-
-"sh" on the user's PATH may be utterly broken on some systems;
-consistently use SHELL_PATH even from inside run-command API.
-
-Will squash the fixup and schedule it to merge soon after 1.7.10.
-
-* jc/commit-unedited-template (2012-04-01) 4 commits
- - git-commit.txt: clarify -t requires editing message
- - commit: rephrase the error when user did not touch templated log message
- - commit: do not trigger bogus "has templated message edited" check
- - t7501: test the right kind of breakage
-
-When "git commit --template F" errors out because the user did not touch
-the message, it claimed that it aborts due to "empty message", which was
-utterly wrong.
-
-* jc/push-upstream-sanity (2012-03-30) 1 commit
- - push: detect nonsense "upstream" check more carefully
-
-"git push $there" without refspec, when the current branch is set to push
-to a remote different from $there, used to push to $there using the
-upstream information to a remote unreleated to $there.
-
-This is necessary if we were to switch the push.default to 'current'.
-
-* jk/http-backend-keep-committer-ident-env (2012-03-30) 1 commit
- - http-backend: respect existing GIT_COMMITTER_* variables
