Hello, looking at the diff that commit 070739fd351702ea9bb4f65595728ae25a488075 introduced with gitk from 1.5.2-rc3 [1], I'd prefer gitk using the option -M for diff-tree to detect that in 3f28f63f git-gui.sh exists, too. Currently the diff is a bit longer that the whole file, with -M it would be empty. Probably using -M hurts performance, so it should better be a config option? Below is a patch that hardcodes -M, I didn't check if there are more places where it should be added. What do you think?
