[PATCH v2 1/2] Makefile: remove tracking of TCLTK_PATH

[PATCH v2 1/2] Makefile: remove tracking of TCLTK_PATH

[Christian Couder]

It looks like we are tracking the value of TCLTK_PATH in the main
Makefile for no good reason, as this is done in git-gui too and the
GIT-GUI-VARS is not used in the Makefile.

This patch removes the useless code used to do this tracking.

This was added to the main Makefile when we slurped gitk to our
project at the top-level, so I am not surprised if git-gui were
not depending on it at all.

A better explanation is that t62ba514 (Move gitk to its own
subdirectory, 2007-11-17) should have moved these lines to
gitk-git/Makefile (and I think we should move them there in a
separate patch).

Yeah, I just sent an updated patch series that does this.

Thanks,

It still seems to talk about git-gui which the snippet you removed
does not have anything to do with, though.
