If that is the case then an obvious direction is to start using C for the actual Git operations/datastore and Tcl/Tk for the basic UI layout and event handlers. If we go down that path for gitk then I may wind up doing the same for git-gui. Because gitk would require the tcl/tk heders and libraries at that point, so also requiring them for git-gui wouldn't be too unreasonable. But fortunately git-gui doesn't have to deal with gigabytes of data; I'm only really looking at the "dirty" stuff, or at worst, the blame for an entire file. -- Shawn.
