If you use the --merge flag, gitk will do a git ls-files -u at startup, and use the result as the list of paths (after intersecting it with the paths on the command line, if you specify paths there). I pondered whether I needed to re-do the git ls-files -u when you update the view with File->Update. I decided not to for now, but it would be possible to add it. > But goodie. I look forward to it ;) I just pushed it out to my gitk.git repo (master branch).
