Having said that, is the gitk view supposed to be shared across users of a single repository?
Perhaps I misunderstand, but aren't gitk views a command line arguments set for git-rev-list? Couldn't be defined as aliases and stored in .git/config? so to be used also with other git commands, as example git log...and of course other GUI tools ;-). If I understand correctly the git documentation, aliases store both the git command and the argument list. Perhaps for views the command could be git-rev-parse. Regarding the local / private views problem, perhaps we could use a local, i.e. out of .git directory, config file that _extends_ and _overrides_ the repository config file. What I mean is that an alias, or also, in general, a config variable could be searched by git, first in the local file, then if not found in the .git/config file. Of course the problem of per-repository _and_ private views stay open (we could use sub-sections identified by repo path in private .config file???) but I think this is a more general and porcelain agnostic approach and could be better reused and extended.
