From 76bf6ff93e1766b8813f0cdbe9089080010ba646 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tair Sabirgaliev Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:48:27 +0600 Subject: [PATCH] gitk: On OSX, bring the gitk window to front On OSX, Tcl/Tk application windows are created behind all the applications down the stack of windows. This is very annoying, because once a gitk window appears, it's the downmost window and switching to it is pain. The patch is: if we are on OSX, use osascript to bring the current Wish process window to front.
