hi all

i'm seeing a problem with gitk on cygwin.  if i try and view the history of 
git itself, it seems to stop at version 22dcbb.  interestingly, the next 
commit 3ef378 has an embedded CTRL-Z character in the commit message.

possible DOS EOF handling bug? or is there a repo setting i need to be 
tweaking?

using git version 1.5.2.2, installed using the cygwin package setup tool.

thanks
ray

Not Git's fault; Tcl on Cygwin honors EOF.  Because nobody would
ever put that byte into a data stream.  ;-)

Looks like gitk needs to add -eofchar {} to an fconfigure command
before it reads data from Git.  Otherwise on Windows systems it
just stops reading.  I better do the same to git-gui.  *sigh*
