Most git porcelain silently refreshes stat-dirty index entries. Teach gitk to, too; this will make the behavior easier to understand when a person makes a change to a file and then changes mind and restores the old version in her editor of choice. This patch does not change the ‘checkout’ code path, since it is assumed that the index is already being cleaned in that case. Testing is needed to check if this breaks operation with read-only access to a repository.
NAK - gitk should not modify a repository and/or working dir unless _explicitly_ prompted to by the user.
If you want a new _non-default_ option setting for gitk, that fine also. -- 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
