Well, instead of using --reference, I would just add a "selinux" remote
to my existing git.git repo, fetch the stuff and then:

gitk origin/master..selinux/master

It's still not "pretty", but quite usable. And as far as I'm concerned,
it's kinda obvious that the git-selinux repo is based on the git.git
repo, so I wouldn't say that you're required to mention that explicitly.
