Issue 121: wish (git gui, gitk) does not find init.tcl when git is run
through a junction
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=121
New issue report by lekktu:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install msysgit, for example at C:\git
2. Create a junction, with free utility junction (from sysinternals) or
other, like "junction mygit git"
3. Run "git gui" or "gitk" through the junction: "C:\mygit\cmd\gitk.cmd"
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Wish emits an error:
"Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
[...list of directories, among them C:/MYGIT/lib/tcl8.4", where init.tcl
resides...]
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
git version 1.5.6.1062.g7b17c on Windows XP
Please provide any additional information below.
Nothing to fix here, I think. It is likely a problem with TCL and not
msysgit. I'm filling the bug report so people searching for init.tcl
problems knows about it (because the relation between the error and
using a
junction point can be obscure to notice at first).
