In short, I wondered if it is correct, and you say it is not correct. I would be surprised if git-gui were the only program that implemented an editor-like feature using tcl/tk, and none of the other editor implementations using tcl/tk had such an industry standard "delete previous word". Perhaps you can see if there is already a correct implementation of the feature this patch can borrow from? >> A larger issue is that we haven't heard from Pat, who has been >> helping git-gui.sh maintenance, for quite a while, so we'd need to >> find a volunteer to act as a replacement maintainer.
