Hi Ansgar,
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the patch. The code changes all
look correct, other than one extra hunk I suggest (see below). The
commit subject and message not so much.
> Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: fix concatenation of ui_ready by adding ";"
We aren't fixing concatenation of "ui_ready". We are fixing a syntax
error because we didn't add a statement separator (semicolon), and so if
we later append something else, it would be treated as an argument to
the ui_ready call by Tcl, causing a syntax error.

Instead of linking to another project's GitHub, describe the problem and
its solution in the commit message.

So, based on the suggestions, I propose the following commit message:
Subject: git-gui: fix syntax error because of missing semicolon
For some asynchronous operations, we build a chain of callbacks to
execute when the operation is done. These callbacks are held in $after,
and a new callback can be added by appending to $after. Once the
operation is done, $after is executed as a script.
But if we don't append a semi-colon after the procedure calls, they will
appear to Tcl as arguments to the previous procedure's arguments. So,
for example, if $after is "foo", and we just append "bar", then $after
becomes "foo bar", and bar will be treated as an argument to foo. If foo
does not accept any optional arguments, it would result in Tcl throwing
an error. If instead we do append a semi-colon, $after will look like
"foo;bar;", and these will be treated as two separate procedure calls.
Before d9c6469 (git-gui: update status bar to track operations,
2019-12-01), this problem was masked because ui_ready/ui_status did
accept an optional argument. In d9c6469, ui_ready stopped accepting an
optional argument, and this error started showing up.
Another instance of this problem is when a call to ui_status without a
trailing semicolon. ui_status never accepted an optional argument to
begin with, but the issue never managed to surface.
So, fix these errors by making sure we always append a semi-colon after
procedure calls when multiple callbacks are involved in $after.

Another hunk I think we should add here is:
@@ -366,7 +366,7 @@ proc add_helper {txt paths} {
update_index \

- [concat $after {ui_status [mc "Ready to commit."]}]

}
}
I've changed the commit message and added this hunk locally, so no need
to send another version. You can find the final commit here [0]. If you
have any comments/suggestions, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll merge
it in a few days.
