gui: error "missing close bracket" when doing a reset

gui: error "missing close bracket" when doing a reset

[Birger Skogeng Pedersen]

Hi,

The last couple of times I've done a reset in git-gui
(Branch->Reset...->Yes), the repo is reset but I get an error message.
The message header says "Error: missing close-bracket". Error message
is as follows:

missing close-bracket
missing close-bracket
    while executing
"set status_bar_operation ["
    invoked from within
"if {[ask_popup $op_question] eq {yes}} {
        set fd [git_read --stderr read-tree --reset -u -v HEAD]
        fconfigure $fd -blocking 0 -translation binary
        ..."
    (procedure "merge::reset_hard" line 28)
    invoked from within
"merge::reset_hard"
    invoked from within
".#mbar.#mbar#branch invoke active"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke active]"
    (procedure "tk::MenuInvoke" line 50)
    invoked from within
"tk::MenuInvoke .#mbar.#mbar#branch 1"
    (command bound to event)

(end of error message)

Does anyone else experience the same issue?

Best regards,
Birger

I fixed a similar issue in 6b9919c (git-gui: add missing close bracket, 
2020-02-17). Do you have that commit applied? You can pull it from [0].

If you still have this problem even with the commit applied, let me know 
and I'll take a look after I get off from $DAYJOB.
