Re: git-gui child windows are still blank

Good to know the upstream error has been fixed, thanks a lot Rob for
investigating.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8066794 suggests that we can
never hope for 8.6.9 to be installed as part of the macOS framework.
However, all is not lost as a commenter suggests a workaround of
bundling Tk with the app. Is this something which can be done for
macOS git binaries?

It looks like this is an issue with Tk that has taken some time to resolve.  It should be fixed in 8.6.9, which was released in November.

The release of Mac OS Mojave has broken git-gui such that it is unusable.

This issue was raised by Ken Sebesta back in November, but I can't
reply directly via gmail.  Message-ID:

The main window opens fine, but any child window (say when you press
'Push') is entirely blank.

I haven't been able to find any sign that work has progressed on this
-- has anyone made headway?
