I am not an expert in Tcl/Tk, but I'll do my best to comment on this
patch.

Do you think there is a way to focus on the last-selected path? That would
make this feature even more convenient, I think.

I am not sure that this information is still there if switching back from
another component...

Looks good!

We are currently without an active Git GUI maintainer, so I hope that
Junio (the Git maintainer) will pick this up.
