Ah, that is what I missed. Thanks.

Yeah, I fully agree with that observation.

OK, let's ask Pat (cc'ed) to apply your version as-is without
touching these 1.5.3 references. I do not take patches to git-gui
directly to my tree.
Thanks.

Tcl 8.5 introduced an extended vsatisfies syntax that is not
supported by Tcl 8.4.
Since only Tcl 8.4 is required this presents a problem.
The extended syntax was used starting with Git 2.0.0 in commit
b3f0c5c0 (git-gui: tolerate major version changes when comparing the
git version, 2014-05-17), so that a major version change would still
satisfy the condition.
However, what we really want is just a basic version compare, so use
vcompare instead to restore compatibility with Tcl 8.4.
