Dear Sirs, I asked a question about how to make gitk behave like git log --no-walk at https://stackoverflow.com/q/65848193/334451 and found out that gitk implementation currently simply ignores --no-walk. According to comment near the actual code in gitk says > proc parseviewargs {n arglist} { > ... > ... "--no-walk" ... > # These cause our parsing of git log's output to fail, or else > # they're options we want to set ourselves, so ignore them. However, if I remove the "--no-walk" from that list and e.g. try to run following command line with Linux kernel repo gitk --no-walk 7a223e06b b5de3c502 f05badde4 6ec4bae1 1b937e8f 444fe991 everything seems to work just fine and I get the expected output. Without modifying the gitk source code gitk just renders whole git repo which takes A LOT of time for something as complex as linux kernel. Note that I intentionally mixed the order of commit ids in the example above to test that the history is still rendered correctly. Is there a reason to keep ignoring the --no-walk flag anymore? (Tested with git version 2.17.1.) -- Best regards, Mikko
