It might be unintuitive to a user when "gitk HEAD -- ." does not show any files in the lower right pane. This patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> --- My initial analysis was all wrong. Pat: does this look correct to you? Kirill: does this fix the issue on your side, too? Paul: since we need this for Git Cheetah, and you are probably too busy to apply/review in the next few weeks, I took the liberty of keeping it as a git.git patch. Let me know if I you want it in a different form that does not require git-am's -p2 option. gitk-git/gitk | 3 +++ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitk-git/gitk b/gitk-git/gitk index cdedaa7..553922f 100644 --- a/gitk-git/gitk +++ b/gitk-git/gitk @@ -7341,6 +7341,9 @@ proc startdiff {ids} { proc path_filter {filter name} { foreach p $filter { + if {$p == "."} { + return 1 + } set l [string length $p] if {[string index $p end] eq "/"} { if {[string compare -length $l $p $name] == 0} { -- 1.6.4.297.gcb4cc -- 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
