Thank you for help on this too. I retired some time ago, and stopped 
using git much a decade ago. My popping up on the list was inspired by 
cleaning out an old laptop and finding some old patches I thought would 
be useful, especially as I'd helped Shawn create some of that old 
git-gui/Cygwin code. My interest is unlikely to endure so I'm definitely 
not a good candidate to maintain git-gui.

On this hook execution problem, looking further, I find using git-hook 
run will fix some other issues in git-gui's hook handling, and that 
would actually also patch around the problem we just fixed. So, another 
patch follows, the commit message presumes the one fixing relative path 
search remains. I would suggest keeping the one fixing the relative path 
search regardless.
