When using Git Gui.app on a Snow Leopard system with Tcl/Tk 8.5,
there are two problems:

1) Menu commands that open a dialog (e.g. "Push" or "Revert changes")
  don't work when invoked via their keyboard shortcuts. You get a
  dialog without a title bar, and the application then hangs without
  further responding to any user input; you need to kill it. Invoking
  the same commands with the mouse by choosing from the menu works fine.
first time I hear of this (or see this myself, and I use git gui every
day on Mac OS X); in part this may be due to the fact that many of the
menu shortcuts assigned by git gui conflict with existing OS X
shortcuts and don't work anyway e.g. cmd-A (esp if a text widget is in
focus)...

personally I would hate for my git gui to be downgraded to Tk 8.4 and
Carbon because of this small issue, and I'm unlikely to be alone.
I will not force 8.4 on anyone. If someone wants to force it locally
they can just edit the wish command in their git-gui script file to use
wish8.4.

I'm happy - even eager - to apply patches to improve the MacOSX git gui
experience but I can't test them as I don't have such a system.

This removes the Cmd-J accelerator from the "Revert Changes" menu
item. I assume that just changing the menu command to 
 {after idle [list do_revert_selection]}
doesn't work either?

Do you want this applied or will you produce a patch that removes more
such inappropriate accelerators?

Also - got any other MacOS specific patches?
