Also 'gitk' patches should be based on Paul's tree, not mine.
cf. "Subsystems with dedicated maintainers" section in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches
So the diff should look more like
diff --git a/gitk b/gitk
index ...
--- a/gitk
+++ b/gitk
@@ ...
As to the contents of the patch itself, I am not the best person to
comment on. I no longer use gitk myself unless I am testing gitk,
and I no longer speak Tcl/Tk.
Having said that, I see no existing instance of -selectforeground so
in the absense of somebody who is better versed in Tk, I'd be wary
of this change. I, however, see that
text some-widget \
-background $bgcolor -foreground $fgcolor -selectbackground $selectbgcolor
is a recurring theme for other text widgets like $cflist and
$top.list, so if the change were only to add the missing
"-selectbackground $selectbgcolor" there, I would imagine it would
be a safe improvement (or adding the "-selectforeground $fgcolor" to
other text widgets that currently lack might turn out to be a sensible
change, too, but as I said, I do not speak Tcl/Tk).
