However, I was waiting until the feature actually got merged into master before pulling the trigger on sending it out because according to howto/maintain-git.txt: * Being in the 'next' branch is not a guarantee for a topic to be included in the next feature release. Being in the 'master' branch typically is. Feel free to steal parts (or all of) my commit message since I think it goes into a bit more detail if you think it works better. Or if you don't want to deal with the burden of fixing this patch, I'll send out mine at a later time (whenever 'dl/pretty-reference' gets merged to 'master'). > --- > Junio, this goes on top of dl/pretty-reference, currently in pu. Since this is a patch for gitk, it should be sent to Paul Mackerras, who is the maintanier of gitk. > > Thanks! > > gitk-git/gitk | 3 +-- Also, It should be based on his subtree, i.e. the file change should say gitk, not gitk-git/gitk. You can find the tip of his tree by fetching git://ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk.
