I didn't repost. Or at the least, I didn't mean to repost. The mailing list
kept complaining (spamming me) that my post was pending, and I eventually
realised that was the old forum. I deleted it from there, and copy-pasted
here. I didn't even realise it had posted here, and that when I deleted from
the old forum, it didn't delete here.

My apologies, yes, in gitk.

Example (unless specified, commands as entered into bash)

mkdir temp
cd temp
git init
gitk --all &
git commit --allow-empty -m '1'
git tag v1
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.1'
git tag v1.1
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.2'
git tag v1.2
(in gitk, press ctrl+f5; all follows and precedes info is there)
git checkout v1.1
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.1.1'
git tag v1.1.1
(in gitk, press f5; follows and precedes info missing for v1.1 and v1.1.1)
(close gitk)
gitk --all &
(info still missing)
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.1.2'
git tag v1.1.2
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)
git checkout master
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.3'
git tag v1.3
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.4'
git tag v1.4
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)
git checkout -b temp v1.2
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.2.1'
git tag v1.2.1
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)
git checkout master
git branch -D temp
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.5'
git tag v1.5
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)


In the end, the only follows/precedes info is:
v1: precedes v1.1
v1.1: follows v1, precedes v1.2
v1.2: follows v1.1
All the rest is missing.
