Thanks, that applied cleanly.

Except the radio button for Tag isn't selected if you make a
selection from the tag picklist.  This was easily fixed by adding a
trace to the variable, like the trace already setup for the branch
and tracking branch menus:

diff --git a/git-gui.sh b/git-gui.sh
index 1c3de80..9ce5a3b 100755

I applied your patch along with the new trace above, and have pushed
it out as the following:

    git-gui: Create new branches from a tag.
    
    I'm missing the possibility to base a new branch on a tag.
    The following adds a tag drop down to the new branch dialog.
