Re: Mark Levedahl's gitk patches

I took a look at differences between your gitk.git and what I
have.  It appears that our "proc readrefs" differ a bit.

Most notably, the global hash tagcontents is read when readrefs
run in the version I have, while gitk.git version fills it
lazily in showtag, where it is actually used.  Because you read
the refs using "show-ref -d", you do not need to do extra forks
to figure out the objects referred to by the tags in your code.

Yes, that was one of the many improvements I made.  Basically I pulled
a lot of stuff over from the 'new' branch.

I think what you have is a lot better from interactive latency
point of view.  I'll take the version from gitk.git and push the
results out.

Thanks.  I have now pushed out Mark Levedahl's two bug fixes as well.

Paul.
