Another thing that would equally be useful is to show which branch a particular commit is on, so for example I can pick one commit while doing "gitk next" to view the next branch and see which topic it belongs to, and "gitk this-topic" to see which commits on that topic, if any, are not yet in the "next" branch. For a graphical interface like gitk it may not be such a big deal (you can always follow the line), but an interface like tig that shows commits in a linear fashion it would make a big difference in usability. BTW, what's the maintenance/rewind policy on the "new" branch of gitk.git? If you are never going to rewind it, I could pull it in "next" (and keep pulling your "master" in my "master") for wider exposure if you like. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
