Signed-off-by: Marc Branchaud <redacted> --- I often open multiple gitk windows in the same working directory to examine other branches or refs in the repo. This change allows me to distinguish which window is showing what. This is an RFC because it doesn't behave great with views. I don't use views at all, so this doesn't bother me. I'm not too sure what should be displayed if the user changes views -- probably the view name, but I'm not sure how to get a that in the code.
The view name is in $viewname($curview). If that is "Command line" you probably want to show some selected command line arguments. Using $vrevs($curview) seems about right, though it will contain "--gitk-symmetric-diff-marker" in some situations, which is an internal thing that we don't want to show externally. You should probably filter it out. The patch will need a proper description before I can apply it, of course. Paul.
