Hi, I would expect that when I start gitk with '--show-notes' option and press update or reload, then it updates not just the commits, but the notes shown in the log/diff window, too. However, as shown below, this is not the case. notes_vs_gitk$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/szeder/tmp/git/notes_vs_gitk/.git/ notes_vs_gitk (master)$ echo 1 >foo notes_vs_gitk (master)$ git add foo notes_vs_gitk (master)$ git commit -m First. foo [master (root-commit) 88dbd6b] First. 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 foo notes_vs_gitk (master)$ gitk --show-notes master & [1] 15673 notes_vs_gitk (master)$ git notes add -m "Note, that these notes will not appear in gitk without restarting it" notes_vs_gitk (master)$ git log commit 88dbd6bf8f1e3e4fc94d1da5e73754c7d2f0f244 Author: SZEDER Gábor <szeder@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: 2011-07-04 17:18:28 +0200 First.
