Launching 'gitk -- .' or 'gitk -- ..\t' restricts the display to files
under the given directory but the file list is left empty. This is because
the path_filter function fails to match the filenames which are relative
to the working tree to the filter which is filessytem relative.
This solves the problem by making both names fully qualified filesystem
paths before performing the comparison.

How is this related to my patches from April? See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/170853. It's
clearly not the same problem, but will the patches conflict? Will some
of mine be unnecessary?

Thanks for reminding me that I did not yet apply and push. Did so now.

What do you mean by this? Push to where?
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/gitk/gitk.git is still down.

Paul and Junio, the patches I sent in April are still not in git.git,
are they? Can we use another repo until the kernel.org one is up? More
than eight months to get a patch (or eight) merged is way too long,
IMO.
