Hello, I have a branch named fixes in my linux repo and until I did: git format-patch -o fixes linus/master the following command worked fine: gitk ^linus/master fixes but now that there is a directory named fixes, nothing happens when running gitk. With rev-list I get zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/linux-2.6$ git rev-list ^linus/master fixes fatal: ambiguous argument 'fixes': both revision and filename Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions but gitk ^linus/master fixes -- doesn't work either. I'd suspect that the call to rev-list doesn't see the "--" and the error is lost somewhere inbetween ...? I currently have no time to look into it, so for now you only get a report.
