Re: gitk patch collection pull request

The biggest problem I have with gitk is that it is almost totally useless 
for when you have a file limit.

I do "gitk --merge" (which has an implicit file limit of the list 
of unmerged files) or just "gitk ORIG_HEAD.. Makefile" and the *history* 
of gitk looks fine.

But the diffs are crap and useless, because they contain all the stuff I 
did *not* want, and hides all the relevant information.

Do you mean that when you have a file limit, the diff window should
just show the diffs for those files, not any other files the commit
might have modified?  That would be easy enough to implement in gitk.
