Hi,

I reported this bug a while ago:

http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2010/2/22/24038

In short, the "Show history context" item of the context menu of "git
gui blame" is broken since february. Two patches were proposed:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/140688
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/140288

But I've just noticed that none of theme were applied.

Checking this it seems you are correct. This has been fixed for
msysGit with the above patch included there but is missing from
git-gui itself and hence missing from core git.

Can we resolve this before 1.7.2 final?

Too late for the 1.7.2, but can we finally get one of these patches
applied? They're both very short and straightforward, and fix an
important feature of git-gui which is basically broken as of now.

Thanks,

Maybe some interested person should maintain a temporary fork of
git-gui that could be merged in the meantime.  That is what people
seem to usually do with submodules in analogous situations.
