version 0.91 of gitk out now

[Paul Mackerras]

I have just put version 0.91 of gitk on ozlabs.org at:

	http://ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk-0.91

(that's the actual script, just wget it and run it).

New features in version 0.91 include a menu bar, a widget to show the
SHA1 id of the selected commit, a find facility for searching for
commits, better error handling, and the ability to increase and
decrease the font size with control-KP+ and control-KP- (and
control-equal and control-minus).

Gitk is a commit viewer written in Tcl/Tk.  Its main features are a
compact and clear representation of the commit graph and the fact that
it shows the headline, author and date of each commit in the summary
window, allowing developers to scan quickly through a large number of
commits and home in on the ones of interest to them.  When a commit is
selected, the full commit message is shown, along with the colorized
diff for commits that have one parent.

Apart from the -b (use bold font for names), -c (color the commit
graph according the the committer) and -d (order commits by date)
options, all other arguments to gitk are passed to git-rev-tree to
allow the user to specify which commits to display.

Paul.

Been lurking here, waiting for an announcement of a snapshot of this 
new gismo.  I wgot it, and chmodded it to 0766, but got this when its 
run:
[root@coyote git]# ./gitk-0.91
Error in startup script: can not find channel named "stder"
    while executing
"puts stder "Error executing git-rev-tree: $err""
    invoked from within
"if [catch {set commfd [open "|git-rev-tree $rargs" r]} err] {
        puts stder "Error executing git-rev-tree: $err"
        exit 1
    }"
    (procedure "getcommits" line 8)
    invoked from within
"getcommits $revtreeargs"
    (file "./gitk-0.91" line 993)

Typu?

Funny mode mask! :)

Yes, this should be stderr. But that's not your problem. :)

You miss the right git binaries. Is git-rev-tree in your $PATH? Do you
have the "new" git binaries starting with git-*?
