Ok, there weren't any comments and this patch is in 'next', so here's
gitk -L built on top of it.

I'm sending this as a single topic, but once agreement is reached, it
has to be applied in two parts: the gitk patches (1-5) need to be
subtree-rebased to match gitk.git, and then merged separately, while
the documentation patches (6&7) need to be applied directly.  The
latter depend on the patch I'm replying to.

Changes since v1:

* 1/7 is new; while investigating the sticked/unsticked issue, I
  noticed that -G is not even supported by gitk.

* 3/7 has improved snipping logic, to get rid of an extra empty line
  before the diff

* 5/7 has a slightly different comment pointing out that this is only
  the sticked form of -L

* 6&7 are new, to resolve the sticky issue
