Well that was interesting. It happens if the external tool gitk is installed, and the bug seems to have been there a long time. I guess I haven't had gitk on my machine for awhile. Fixed in version 9.6.2, which will be released shortly.

Fixed: Scope of variables in namespaces is more restricted. Tilde (~) is not expanded in pathnames unless it's done explicitly with the new "file tildeexpand" operation. That means plain files and directories starting with a ~ character are now allowed. In tkrev's directory list, they're prefixed with "./" so they can be used more or less normally. When reading and writing files, the encoding profile is set to tcl8, preserving permissive behavior for files with extended characters. Incorporated Michael...

Removed some things from the contrib directory. I'm not including the early fork of dirdiff anymore. The script to set up files for the vendor merge module is now in the teststuff directory. The only thing left is cvsdiff, a script that enables tkrev to use gvim instead of tkdiff to compare files by setting the "Diff Visualizer" preference.

The missing Debian package update is unrelated (maintainer fell off the grid). I do not think this is too impossible to resolve, afaiui you as current main contributor and Dan have a food working relationship. What is missing is gathering the data and properly documenting the situation. How about adding a new AUTHORS file with a text like this? TkCVS was originally written by Del and released as public domain. In Dorothy Robinson took over maintainership....

Another contributor I recall is Mike Jagdis (jaggy?), who rewrote the branch diagram a long time ago. In the upcoming release, there's a module by Michael Moran (vampm) to deal with file paths containing a tilde in tk9.0. He maintains tkdiff now, and I'm holding back releasing tkrev until he finishes his update. Unfortunately my logs now only go back to 2005, when we migrated from CVS to SVN. I'm a crappy archivist.

Thanks Del for the quick response and sorry for poking an open wound. Hopefully we can improve things in the future. Digging into histories the earliest Debian (or upstream) package I found was 6.0-9 from 1998 (which as noted above even lacked a LICENSE.txt ), then debian/copyright already said: Copyright: GPL, according to the author of TkCVS, Del del@babel.matra.com.au Well, let's see if Dorothy has some input here.

Hi, Yes you are missing something. As the original author of tkCVS (back in 1992 or so), I was "informed" by the Debian team that the GPL v2 license would be added to the package and that since this was a license addition by the Debian team that they would no longer recognise me as the copyright holder or author of the package and that they would be henceforth the owner of the package (that I wrote and contributed to the public domain). At that point I then asked the Debian team leads to exclude...

I think you did it right. Was stderr (E) logging on? But anyway cvs gave you the log. I wonder if there was an error status somewhere for some other reason. Is this the only file you have a problem with? Have you tried checking out a fresh copy of the module and starting over?

Well, the file behaves for me, going back to tkcvs_8.0.4 which is as far back as my laptop will go. Have you tried watching what happens in the trace window when you try to diagram the log? Turn on tracing, and just the Commands and Stderr levels might be enough to say what's going on. In this case, I accidentally got the error by re-generating my test repository and forgetting to hand-add the cvsxdiff file.
