Getting gitk to display all refs but stgit logs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Since v0.11, StGIT creates references to keep a hand on patch logs.
This has the unfortunate side-effect that "gitk --all" suddenly shows
all those very annoying, and soon becomes unusable on
repositories for which was very convenient.

I guess it would be acceptable to have stgit itself launch gitk with
the correct options.

The only way I could find to suppress these refs from the display is
to find the refs ourselves and pipe them to gitk using --stdin:

 find .git/refs/ -type f -not -name '*.log' -printf '%P\n'|gitk --stdin

Unfortunately, requesting an update from gitk then behaves as if
nothing had been given on command-line (obviously it is passing
--stdin to git-rev-list without repeating the data).

We could do slightly better by enclosing the find in backquotes on the
gitk command-line, but that would still hide new refs to git-rev-list
when updating the graph.

Is there a better way already, or should we work on something specific
here ?  A possible solution I think of could be to call something like:

 gitk --stdin-command="find .git/refs/ -type f -not -name '*.log' -printf '%P\n'"
