I do not recall whether gitk learned about it (I don't think so).

If you are interested in attacking this from the gitk angle then you will want to follow a similar strategy. -- David -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
