There's a bug somewhere. This _should_ work: # create a fake 'gitk' branch if you don't have one already git branch gitk master # This should look at the 'gitk' branch gitk gitk -- but it doesn't. It just hangs for me. It seems to be some fairly recent gitk bug, too, because I'm pretty sure it _used_ to work. I checked, and "git rev-list" works fine: git rev-list --default HEAD gitk fails correctly with fatal: ambiguous argument 'gitk': both revision and filename Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions and the way to get it to work as a branch-name is to do git rev-list --default HEAD gitk -- which works fine.
