git-gui was recently enhanced to remove comment lines from the commit message similar to the way git-commit does so (see `core.commentchar` and `git-stripspace`). Unfortunately, that change employs features which are unavailable in older versions of Tcl, such as 8.5.9 which is shipped with macOS (10.13), with the result that the commit operation errors out. There are two problems. First, to add a new informational message to the main window, it invokes string method `cat` which does not exist in older Tcl. Fix this by using `append` instead. Second, when passing the commit message through git-stripspace, it closes the "write" side of the bidirectional pipe after sending the commit message to git-stripspace in order to avoid deadlock before reading back the result, however the ability to close only one end of a pipe is not present in older Tcl. Fix this by employing a temporary file to received the output of git-stripspace. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> --- I'm not a Tcl programmer, so I may have overlooked better or more idiomatic ways to fix these problems. There might be some reliable and portable way to write and read a bidirectional pipe in older Tcl without deadlocking and without using non-blocking I/O and an event-loop, but I didn't find it, so I went with the simpler approach of using a temporary file. git-gui.sh | 3 +-- lib/commit.tcl | 12 +++++++----- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
