Thank you for summarizing the thread. I tried using the snapshot cygwin1-20100829.dll.bz2 and confirmed that gitk works okay again. One thing to note. I said in the previous mail that "gitk unusable in cygwin-1.7.6-1", but after more testing, I found I was wrong in saying that. The correct description of the problem in cygwin-1.7.6-1 was "gitk does work in a directory with only ascii characters in its path, but is unusable in a directory that contains a non-ascii character in its path." In the latter case, echo "puts [pwd]"|wish returned //?/PIPE . But I confirmed this was fixed and gitk works again in the snapshot cygwin1-20100829.dll.bz2 . I thank the developers for fixing this. -- neomjp -------------------------------------- GyaO! - Anime, Dramas, Movies, and Music videos [FREE] http://pr.mail.yahoo.co.jp/gyao/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
