Subject: [PATCH] gitk: honor TMPDIR when viewing external diffs
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:13:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1402694017-91249-1-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com> (raw)

gitk fails to show diffs when browsing a read-only repository.
This is due to gitk's assumption that the current directory is always
writable.

Teach gitk to honor either the GITK_TMPDIR or TMPDIR environment
variables.  This allows users to override the default location
used when writing temporary files.
