Re: gitk pays too much attention to file timestamps

Hi, list!

OS X 10.6.3
Git 1.7.0.4

When I "touch" a file, gitk lists it in "local uncommitted changes,
not checked in to index" (without a difference, just a name). I
believe that it should not.

Git status, and git commit do ignore such files.

After git reset --hard, gitk stops seeing changes as expected.

The problem is that gitk doesn't invoke "git update-index --refresh",
I guess it should on Update (F5) and Reload (Ctrl-F5).
