OpenInGitX Droplet Does not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install droplet according to instructions
2. Click on it with a repository directory selected in the finder
3. Nothing happens

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OpenInGitX-1.1, on Snow Leopard 10.6.6

Please provide any additional information below.
Yes, I've made sure GitX runs and doesn't give me the dialog, etc.

I have found the problem, and it is with the screen command in the AppleScript. 
It's not necessary for the droplet to work correctly, and, because I have a 
.screenrc that automatically does some things at startup, it fails. Removing 
the "screen -Smd ..." part before the "bash -c" fixes the problem. I've 
attached the fixed source code.

The screen command IS necessary, in my experience, and is very well motivated.  
For some reason, Git can't communicate over SSL unless if Git has a PTY.  
Perhaps there is some other way to achieve it?  See if SSH fetching works for 
you.

It may be better to pass a param to screen to ignore your screenrc... or use a 
custom one.

It seems that "screen -c /dev/null" will properly ignore any .screenrc file.  
I'll upload a new version, thanks for the report.

above, when I said SSL, I meant SSH... I haven't tried fetching over https with 
a PTY-less git process... but... anyways, it definitely does not work on my 
machine without the screen command.

Don't know why my email reply didn't register as a comment on the page. Anyway, 
here it is, for completeness:

Yeah, the SSH thing is not something I considered, so I did not test it.

Your config-file-less fix worked, however. Thanks!

P.S. After I threw out the screen command, I did have a little twinge that made 
me think "well, it wasn't in there for no reason, was it? And I know it's my 
screen config that's the issue… maybe this isn't The Right Way." Glad you 
pointed me to it.
