Well, CRLF was one of the issues, but I fixed that with 'dos2unix'. At 
least I tried.
Don't bother. I had some problems with the filenames. git-gui.sh is in my
git-repo (git clone ...), whereas git-gui and git-gui.tcl are in my /bin 
directory.
I didn't know which to patch, tried them all, and copied them around.
As said, don't bother. It's just my stupidness.

Great! Sorry, I didn't want to offend you. Wasn't aware that *you* are 
the git-gui maintainer.
Thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing this patch. :-)
