This seems to me to be a straight out bug but given I've had no response here and given this is such a simple issue then I guess it's not a bug and I'm just missing something? Please somebody, why does gitk (usually) not show the subset list of files affected when you give it a path? E.g. If I am in a src dir then "gitk ." does not list files. Neither does "gitk $PWD" nor "gitk ../src". However "cd ..; git src" does list files!? Is there a more appropriate forum/list for git newcomers? -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
