Re: Show patch in gitk --first-parent ?

Karl Wiberg [off-list ref] writes:

With "gitk --first-parent", I get a graph that only follows the first
parent of every merge---perfect if you always merge topic branches
into the main branch. However, the diff shown is still the normal
merge diff, and not the diff between the new tree and the first
parent's tree---is it possible to make it do that instead?

While not automatic, you can right click on the parent and select
Diff this->selected.

And there's also the option to "mark" a commit, and diff this with
marked. Thanks, that's just what I needed (although as you say, it
isn't automatic).
