On the other hand you may have to port a specific patch on another
branch you are working on. The search with a SHA1 cannot be applied here
since they would differ.

This patch adds an entry in the main context menu to highlight every
instance of a commit.

Thanks for working on gitk!

Unfortunately, I don't understand the description of your new option. How is this different from the existing "Find containing:" feature? Gitk can already highlights commits that match a specified string. Please explain what gitk does when this new option is selected.

Also, please explain how your code identifies "every instance" of a commit.  When I think of a "commit instance" I think of the
"git patch-id" command, which I don't see here.

It is based on the name of the commit. I agree that it is not ideal since the name can change between two versions.

As you stated below it is exactly a shortcut, and now that we are talking about it I think this is not the right right approach to do what I want.

I was not aware of the 'git patch-id' command, but this it clearly a better idea to base the search of the commit instances on it.

One thing that I wonder is that 'git patch-id' seems to be based on standard input. This means that in order to highlight every instances of a commit the algorithm would need to parse each and every patch and then proceed to hash them and compare to the one referenced.

Wouldn't it be a tad long to process ?


(It looks to me like this is basically a shortcut to auto-fill gitk's "containing:" field with the subject line of the selected commit?)

This line is indented with a tab, but it should use spaces.

I will change my setup to use spaces instead of tabs one this file.

Why bother with the $format variable here?  Couldn't you just quote the --pretty part?
     "--pretty=format:%s"
(FYI, I am not a TCL/TK coder.)

I also am not a TCL developer. I pretty much duplicated the copyreference{} procedure to get what I wanted.
