hi all
i'm seeing a problem with gitk on cygwin. if i try and view the history of
git itself, it seems to stop at version 22dcbb. interestingly, the next
commit 3ef378 has an embedded CTRL-Z character in the commit message.
possible DOS EOF handling bug? or is there a repo setting i need to be
tweaking?
using git version 1.5.2.2, installed using the cygwin package setup tool.
thanks

Not Git's fault; Tcl on Cygwin honors EOF. Because nobody would
ever put that byte into a data stream. ;-)
Looks like gitk needs to add -eofchar {} to an fconfigure command
before it reads data from Git. Otherwise on Windows systems it
just stops reading. I better do the same to git-gui. *sigh*
