Hi! When a commit is highlighted, git-show or equivalent is spawned to fill the patch window. When a different commit is highlighted, appearently if git-show is still running, it is killed and a new one is started. However, if a branch line is clicked, a running git-show is not killed, hence its output is appended below the "Parent" and "Child" sections. To reproduce, fire up gitk without arguments on git.git. Go all the way down to the initial commit and select "Diff this->selected" from the context menu, then quickly click on a line between two commits. Unless your machine is blazingly fast, you will see that patch text is appended below the "Child" section. Try with linux-2.6.git if git.git is too small a project. -- Hannes - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
