  Merge branch 'tb/external-diff-renamed' (2025-11-26 16:04:14 +0100)


The commit that reinstates that the main window position is saved across
sessions is controversial and needs testing. In b9bee11526ec (gitk: Only
restore window size from ~/.gitk, not position, 2008-03-10) [1] it was
argued that restoring the main window position is inconvenient. With the
reversal of that patch I have now implemented my preference (to restore
the position) with the purpose to solicit feedback whether it is still
inconvenient. We can revert the patch again or find a better solution if
needed.
