Yay! That does what I wanted, though the manpage relies on subtle
wording to convey it. You have to read -S and -G twice and think about
it. It would be much better to say something like "If -S isn't finding
what you need, try -G and you shall find it" -- AFAICT it is true for
the common cases.
gitk doesn't seem to know how to use it. Attached is a trivial patch
(apologies about attaching it, in lieu of proper list style). Simple,
and works for me.
While I am not learned in gitk internal structure, it seems complete.
My only doubt is whether any additional work is needed under set
known_view_options {}. I cannot quite fathom that part of gitk. Review
welcome.
cheers,
