Hi Pat,
thank you, but I almost always run gitk with the '--all' parameter.
Actually, I have a function in my .bashrc for this:
# calls gitk from the top-level directory:
function gkup()
{
(cd "./$(git rev-parse --show-cdup)"; gitk --all "$@" &)
}
That's because gitk behaves odd (at least to me) when not run from the
top-level directory. E.g. the "touching paths" box won't find files in
the top dir if you don't prefix them with a slash. It's all relative to
the directory gitk was started in. To get predictable behavior, I wrote
this function and garnished it with '--all'.
Thus, my current HEAD is not always on the top of the history but
somewhere in between. However, typing "HEAD" (or "head" in the SHA1
field works for me.
Cheers
Dirk
