Display line numbers in gitk?

Display line numbers in gitk?

[Sebastian Schuberth]

Hi,

is there currently a way to display line numbers next to each line in 
the diff shown by gitk, e.g. in some kind of gutter?

If that's currently not possible, how much work would it require to add 
that feature as an option?

Thanks, from my tests it seems to work indeed very well. Although I
was initially thinking about the patch view.

A downside of line numbers in the file view could be that they'll be
copied to the clipboard, too, if you copy and paste code from there,
so they should probably be implemented as an option.
